Radio host Hugh Hewitt said Monday evening on Fox Business that former President Jimmy Carter passed away knowing he wasn’t the “worst president,” thanks to President Joe Biden taking that title.
The Carter Center confirmed Sunday that the 100-year-old former Democratic president had passed away while in hospice care in Plains, Ga. On “Kudlow,” Hewitt was asked about Biden’s response to President-elect Donald Trump’s Truth Social post about Carter’s passing. Trump said that while he “strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically,” he believed that Carter “truly loved and respected our country.”
Hewitt said he thought that comment was “very gracious by President Trump.”
“I’m not so sure that Joe Biden’s stab at a comment in the Virgin Islands, ‘decency, decent, decency,’ wasn’t aimed at Donald Trump rather than at the eulogizing of Jimmy Carter. In fact, it was indecent what he did with the 37 murderers whose sentences he commuted,” Hewitt said.
“President Biden is not capable of discharging the office right now,” Hewitt added. “He ought to have resigned more than a year ago, as the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month. I think what we are seeing is a man fairly desperate to do something that is a signature accomplishment.”
WATCH:
During his remarks regarding Carter’s passing, Biden said the former president had “character, faith and humility,” and said Americans would succeed if they were “more like Jimmy Carter.” Biden was then asked if Trump would benefit from Carter’s legacy, to which Biden said “everybody deserves a shot” at “decency.”
Hewitt said Carter died “knowing he hadn’t been the worst president of the post-war period.”
“Joe Biden is that. But the ‘decency, decency, decency’ comment following the commutation, a little bit tough, actually a lot of tough to swallow that one,” Hewitt said.
With Biden’s impending exit from the White House only 21 days away, the president has faced heavy criticism for his recent actions in office, particularly his recent pardon of his son Hunter Biden.
Political pundits and Democrats said they disapproved after Biden announced on Dec. 1 that he would pardon his son, despite repeatedly telling the public and the press that he would not do so. Nearly two weeks after Hunter Biden’s pardon, the president granted clemency to nearly 1,500 individuals — some of whom are drug traffickers, crack dealers, cartel leaders, and fraudsters.
Since September 2021, Biden’s approval rating has struggled to return to his peak of 54.8% in February 2021, according to average data gathered by FiveThirtyEight. Recent data shows the president has remained at 37.4%, which is the same as his all-time low from June, according to FiveThirtyEight.
Biden is now the worst with Obozo in a close second and Clinton third.
I honestly believe Carter tried his best while President.
RIP Carter.
Biden is the oldest of the three surviving Democrats. It says quite a bit about them that he’s the last one whose paternity is relatively certain.
Can’t argue with that. And he did good things with HfH.
But I still fed peanuts to the crows...
Biden is now the worst with Obozo in a close second and Clinton third.

I cannot fathom the degrees of ignorance you display here. You know nothing of history. Nothing of a man directly responsible for 57,000 dead Americans and trillions wasted on the Great Society.
In other times, Carter would have fared better. But he had to battle Arabs, Iranians, cartels,inflation—the whole sh*t show. No one in America expected that all that would come Jimmy Carter's way.
Biden is the absolute filth; Biden is untreated sewage effluent.
I don’t remember much of Carter as I was still a young child.
The only thing I remember is peanuts and Billy Beer.
Clinton, Obama and Biden however I will remember forever.
“dead Americans” Like the Clinton body count? Which was growing before, during and after they were in the White House?
Roselyn Carter was the last Democrat first lady to actually be a “Lady”. Look at what the dems have given us since. I can see Michael’s dick while he wears that dress.
Amy Carter was a better looking First Child than Chelsea Clinton or any of obozo’s kids. Even Rush poked fun at how ugly Chelsea was on this tv show

How much money have Obozo and Biden wasted? More than Carter could have dreamed of.
Not disagreeing but you have used criteria which beg the question, and a question is all it is: What place does W hold then for worst President along with LBJ?
Tried his best to do what?
Putting politics aside,
I rate presidents on the negative impacts they had
on me and the lives of my family.
LBJ had to be the worst. To his credit he got his and didn’t bother to subject us to more suffering.
Obama and his anti white, anti-Christian, and
voracious search for money #2
Carter and his anti American policies #3
Biden is a blithering idiot, he isn’t even in charge
of his own bowel movements.#4
Clinton made Nixon look like a saint. #5
I don’t necessarily like Republicans either,
but I just look at my tax returns and guess what.
I did a lot better under Nixon, Ford, Reagan, and Yuck! Bush
than when Democrats ran the circus we call our Federal government
You’re being way to nice to Biden and you have insulted filth and sewage both by raising him up to their status…….
Most of that was self-inflicted.
This was the entire purpose of of the no legacy puppet master to set FJB up all along.
There is no way out for the joker or the thief. Obama and Biden will never get relief.
It’s a personal opinion regardless... Johnson is ranked pretty good in most surveys if you do a search and Trump is ranked very low so that explains the surveys and opinions.
Agree.
Everything is relative, and compared to the three bozos, Clinton, Obozo, and OBiden, Carter looks like an anointed saint.
By the way, looking at those characters' names listed one after the other strikes me as being like a doomed plane spiraling out of control and heading to the ground, with each successive move becoming much worse. That's what Clinton>Obozo>OBiden reflects. A country spiraling out of control, with each successive president being seriously worse than the last and leading us further into a disaster.
Anyway, Carter sure seemed to follow his religious belief and spent the remainder of his life attempting to do what he believed was "good for the planet" -- and not necessarily with the goal of "good for Carter."
However, Jimmah is absolutely the worst former President of my lifetime but he may someday be surpassed by The Kenyan.
“Hugh Hewitt Says Jimmy Carter Passed Knowing He Wasn’t America’s ‘Worst President’”
NO, he didn’t! He was comatose, just like he was when he voted for Comma-La.
Maybe W. is in the top 5. Maybe.
I get your point. I read a thread last night trying to explain wny Bonnie and Clyde and Luigi Mangione were (are) so popular. If some people approved of LBJ, then it goes to show how Americans love anti-heroic bastards.
