Former President Jimmy Carter said he believes President Donald Trump’s election was illegitimate and “he didn’t actually win the election in 2016.”
Carter was speaking at at a Carter Center conference on human rights in Virginia with author Jon Meacham when he made the remarks. (First reported by USA Today’s Susan Page.)
“I think the interference, though not yet quantified, should be fully investigated and would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016, he lost the election,” Carter said.
“He was put into office because the Russians interfered,” he said. Carter was then asked if that meant he believed Trump was illegitimate.
“Based on what I said, which I can’t retract,” Carter responded, prompting laughter from the audience.
Carter has spoken with Trump in the past and attended Trump’s inauguration. Earlier this year, Carter says he offered Trump advice on dealing with China after Trump called him to talk about the country.
Watch above via C-SPAN.
Eat my A__ Jimmah.
MAGA
Stupid old fool....
THAT is going to be the theme of the Democrat 2020 campaign.
The fact that it was introduced by their most senior, prestigious Democrat seals it.
Wow, pretty irresponsible for a former president to publicly doubt the legitimacy of a sitting president. This is a new low for the Democrats. But then, they’re pretty much the party of new lows nowadays.
Growing older... much less cognizant yet the press insists on sticking microphones in his face so all can witness his passing into the his sunset. No matter how undignified it will become.
It’s nice to know that Jimmy Carter is just as stupid and incompetent as he was 40 years ago. How about that crazy dangerous Ronald Reagan, Jimmy?
Breathtaking insanity.
What a little nothing burger of a wannabe man.
The Presidential trash heap speaks.
Even Time Magazine called his presidency a debacle. Reagan was a result.
At least in 77-80 the music, movies and TV entertainment was good.
Like Biden said, My time is up..
Not only does Carter hate Israel he also hates America - never took a civics class I guess.
“Senile.”
Maybe not. Carter was this goofy 50 years ago.
How would he know that without an investigation first? Isn’t that the whole point of an investigation — to see if your hunch about something is true, or not true? That didn’t stop him, though, from throwing out his conclusion —before there is any proof. Of course, this will be all over the media to be lapped up by low-information types who are responsible for saddling the country with bullsh*t artists such as Jimmy Carter.
dementia??
The damage that that idiot Carter did to the nation is incalculable: Creating the Department of Education; giving away the Panama Canal; pretty much guaranteeing the creation and rise of the islamo-nazi regime in Iran; just to name a few.
Carter is the F’n moron we have to thank for Iran being the worlds biggest pain the rear for the last 30 years
Hasn’t this moron certified every tyrannical election on the planet at some point or another?
HILLARY LOST!!!
Effing idiots!!!!
SORE LOSER!
““He was put into office because the Russians interfered,” he said.”
then let him show his proof. Otherwise, he’s just another liberal democrat that didn’t accept the results of the election, just like Hitlery.
