Carter forced the US to boycott the Olympics in Russia during his time. There was a great deal of damage done - all of it suffered by the USA. We were the big losers.

The Olympics were originally designed to be free from the control of politics. During the Cold War the Communist nations played a big role in their nation’s Olympic teams; they along with Carter.

This is a moronic idea to boycott. Good Grief. True - it hurts the athletes the most, BUT it’s a chain reaction to every sponsor, every company who paid to use the Olympic logo to produce items for sale to promote the Olympics.

Yes..... I remember a furniture store owned by friends, sat with a ton of merchandise - bean bag chairs, little teddy bears all with Olympic logos, to give/sell with furniture purchases. This is a stupid idea and he needs to be OUT of the senate for many reasons more important than this moronic suggestion.

WE NEED better peeps to run our country.
