Jimmy Carter to me reflects something of moral values but when they come out into public policy that’s when the questions come up?

Carter got Daniel Ortega to give up and let the opposition take office in Nicaragua decades ago. Now the old Communist (Ortega) is arresting anyone who dare challenge him in this year’s elections.

There are good things that Carter has done helping to build houses and so on. I don’t hate him for that.

Jimmy Carter was in Washington for the Donald Trump inauguration in 2017 and DJT acknowledged that with Carter in the room that day.

Eh? Ortega’s first relinquishing of power happened under Bush 41, and the pressure the Contras put on during the Reagan years had weakened Ortega. Carter actually aided the Sandinistas after hosting Ortega at the White House in 1979.

If you’re referring to Habitat for Humanity, it has been plagued by a number of scandals.

Why does criticism of the man suddenly get interpreted as “hate” here? Thought this was FR. I certainly do not hate the man or his wife, but I hate the bad things he does.
