Former President Jimmy Carter had kind words for Cuban dictator Fidel Castro, who died Friday, saying in a statement he and his wife “remember fondly our visits with him in Cuba and his love of his country.”

Castro, who was 90, was long a scourge of the U.S. who brought the Cold War to America’s doorstep. But he and Carter, a Georgia native, had warmer relations.

Carter took a step to normalize relations between the two nations during his presidency, and the two shared several visits, including a 2011 journey where Castro called Carter a “friend.”

Trump never met Putin, yet the left says he’s best buds with a dictator and thug.

Yet here are leftists actually living that image with Castro!

What a complete unmitigated Horse's Ass. A total embarrassment to America. Carter, of course, not Castro.

Castro and Carter prove that Billy Joel was right. Only the good die young.

Carter was an absolute disaster for America. Typical liberal socialist democRAT.

Has the party of liberal filth ever given us anything worthwhile?

I am old enough to remember when Jimmy was President. Dementia has always been strong in this one.

0bama is more recent in your memory, so it feels like he’s worse.But with Carter, we had ...

Don't know about you but I'm old enough to remember Carter vividly.Yes,we had all that but the damage to the fabric of our society that The Community Organizer-In-Chief has done to this country trumps (no pun intended) Carter.

Jimmy was a peanut farmer who was in *way* over his head.Obala was a disciple of Alinsky and Ayers who damaged this country *intentionally*.

Now if you wanna talk about worst *ex* Presidents that's an entirely different discussion.But I have a sick feeling in my gut that Obola will trump Jimmah *there* as well.

But only time will tell.

There’s some uncanny timing here. Trump wins (America wins) and soon afterward Castro croaks.

Both events are bringing the cockroaches of the Left out into the open. Ideological lines are drawn like never before. Praise for the dead Cuban thug is beyond disgusting.

After President Trump (love those words!) takes office, the Muslim problem in America will be illuminated like it’s never been: terrorism, infiltration, migrant invasion, culture war.

The next four years will be a colossal struggle between good and evil in our land. God heard our prayers and gave us another chance. Let’s not squander it.

Of course he does.

I didn’t bother to turn on the tv news, but I wonder how many news reporters/hosts/commentators wore black in solidarity?

People are forgetting Castro’s role in the Cuban Missile Crisis that brought the world to the brink of nuclear war. That alone should disgrace him forever.

Someone recently remarked that Jimmy Carter’s brother Billy would probably have made a better POTUS than Jeb Bush.
