A North Carolina Republican member of Congress is calling for the State Department to revoke the passport of former President Jimmy Carter, who's been meeting, against the wishes of the U.S. Government, with representatives of the Palestinian terror group Hamas.
Congresswoman Sue Myrick of Charlotte, speaking on the Jeff Katz Show on WBT Radio, says Carter's actions have made a lot of people in the House extremely angry.
Officials with Hamas say the meeting with Carter will boost the group's legitimacy, despite criticism by the U.S. and Israel.
Absolutely. And take it away before he comes home.
Mrs. Myrick is my Congresscritter. Go get him, Sue!
“Congresswoman Sue Myrick of Charlotte”
Oh, I like her.
Wow,
We need to put her in for SECSTATE!
That's my vote.
WE need to flood Congress with DEMANDS his passport be yanked - he should be tried for treason, but that won't happen.
However, I think he's made enough people angry enough, finally, to yank his passport.
He should be put on lifetime house arrest on his peanut farm
If it’s revoked now, does that mean he won’t be allowed back in the country?
People were calling for Carter's passport to be yanked during Bush 41's term.
Carter managed to screw up Haiti beyond its normal fouled up state of affairs.
They just can't seem to catch a break.
I do hope Rep. Myrick can reign him in, since nobody else seems to want to keep him from not only damaging the US, but the hundreds of millions of other people that would be better off if their world did not have James Earl Carter, Jr. plaguing them.
I believe the applicable law is the Logan Act.
The irony is that Carter's Administration threatened to pull the passport of any American athlete that dared to attend the 1980 Summer Olympic Games in Moscow.

LOL!
Sometimes I think that the Federalists had a good idea with the Alien and sedition act.
I love her. I want to be in her district.
Actually, I think a more appropriate response would be for the State Dept, to have his secret service detail, leave him at any departure point out of the U.S., for any foreign trip not condoned by the Administration, and tell him, they will re-assume their duties, once he returns to U.S soil.
I want God to send Jimmy to his eternal home...but all good things come to those who wait.
Good for you, Sue. Someone w/a back bone - how “American”. Thank you!
She’s got bigger stones than rabbit runner!!!!
