Biden Slammed For Using Jimmy Carter’s Passing To Attack Trump

President Joe Biden faced backlash on Monday for using the passing of former President Jimmy Carter to attack President-elect Donald Trump.

Biden made attacks Sunday night at a press conference where he delivered remarks about Carter.

When asked by a reporter what lesson Trump should take from Carter’s legacy, Biden responded: “Decency.”

“Decency, decency, decency,” Biden said. “Can you imagine Jimmy Carter walking by someone who needed something and just keep walking? Can you imagine Jimmy Carter referring to someone by the way they look or the way they talk? I can’t. I can’t.”

NewsBusters’ Jorge Bonilla posted the video on social media, writing: “The unmitigated gall of the corrupt Biden lecturing Americans on decency off of Carter’s death.”

Radio host Hugh Hewitt fired back at Biden on X: “Is it ‘decent’ to have deceived the American public for years about your condition and to do so via a complicit and complacent legacy media? The greatest cover-up in modern American political history, and the greatest media scandal as well, is still unacknowledged on the record by anyone around President Biden and by almost all legacy media figures.”

“Their sunk costs are enormous but they won’t cut them loose and own the cover-up or the complicity,” he continued. “If the @WSJ, me and others like @bethanyshondark and @jimgeraghty on today’s program, are wrong about the president’s infirmity, just have him sit for a single one hour or more interview with one semi-serious journo. Easiest thing in the world to prove is mental acuity.”

“Until he has, put the references to decency in the pile marked ‘indecent invocations of decency,'” he concluded. “Americans should be shocked and then angry at the cover-up and its devastating consequences which continue to roll out in Afghanistan, Ukraine and across the globe and at home.”

Political commentator Stephen L. Miller posted on X: “At the very least, Donald Trump does recognize and spend time with all of his grandchildren. Miller followed up and said, “Biden’s decency act doesn’t work anymore because of that and then pardoning his son after repeatedly telling the country he wouldn’t.”

Federalist Senior Legal Correspondent Margot Cleveland responded: “Biden, yet again, proves he is not a decent man.”

David Limbaugh, brother of the late Rush Limbaugh, responded to Biden’s remarks by sarcastically posting on X: “Biden — such a sweet, sweet man. Decent. Honorable. Incorruptible.”
