Jimmy Carter: Trump won election because of Russian help
Atlanta Journal-Constitution ^ | 6/28/19

Former President Jimmy Carter said Friday he believes Donald Trump would have lost the 2016 election without Russian help.

“There’s no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election and I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated, would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016,” said Carter. “He lost the election and he was put in office because the Russians interfered on his behalf.”

Carter was speaking in Leesburg, Va. at a panel discussion on human rights hosted by the Carter Center.

Carter was then asked by moderator Jon Meacham, a historian, if Trump was an illegitimate president.

“Based on what I said, which I can’t retract,” responded Carter, smiling.

Still demented after all these years; I guess he has his own dribble towel he carries around.

Mr. Peanut is either stupid or a liar, or possibly both.
I wish he would explain how those sneaky Russians interfered to let Hillary win the popular vote, but knew how to get Trump all the Electoral College votes he needed.

So he thinks the American electorate is so effing stupid that they are easily persuaded by Russian bots running some silly Facebook disinformation campaign? Way to have faith in America, Jimmy.

Agree, Jimmy was the weak SOB who dis nothing to free our citizens in Iran. Ross Perot did fund OPS to get men out.

This is good news. I hope Democrats stay on message and run a campaign just as inept as the last one.

Not that there was much good to Carter to begin with, but I’ve always thought he has never gotten over the asskicking he got from Reagan, and that turned him into the nasty, bitter, phony, self-righteous old cuss he has been for the last forty-years.

He makes this bold statement, but admits that alleged Russian interference hasn’t been quantified. He says an investigation would prove that, but his investigation hasn’t happened, so how can he be so sure? He can’t, but his own self-importance led him to throw this bomb out there which, he knows, plenty of people will believe.

I felt sorry for him a while back when he got his cancer diagnosis. I take that back.

Peanut must have suffered some serious brain damage when he recently fell and broke his hip.

Probably true. His brain is very close to his hip; it's about where he pulls these ideas from, so I assume that's his brain.

Didn’t Carter fantasize about the Iranians helping Reagan win? Leftists have a limitless supply of excuses for failure.

“There’s no doubt that the Russians did interfere in the election and I think the interference, although not yet quantified, if fully investigated, would show that Trump didn’t actually win the election in 2016”

Silly me, I thought it WAS fully investigated...
