President Biden's remarks about the late Jimmy Carter's decency drew criticism from conservatives who accused him of hypocrisy and ignoring his own administration's controversies.
President Biden 's comment that President-elect Donald Trump could learn about 'decency' from the late Jimmy Carter didn't sit well with conservatives online. Carter died on Sunday at the age of 100 as the longest-living American president in history. When a reporter asked Biden what Trump should take from Carter's legacy, Biden replied, '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?' Radio host and ex-Washington Post writer Hugh Hewitt was among those who criticized Biden's comments. '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?' Hewitt wrote on X. '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.' Legal analyst Jonathan Turley contrasted Biden with Carter over the former's broken promise to not pardon his son Hunter. Carter's younger brother Billy was scrutinized for his business relationship with Libya during the Carter administration. 'Instead of showing Carter's honesty, Biden lied for years and then pardoned his own son after repeatedly denying that he would ever do so during the campaign. He pardoned his son for any crimes committed over a ten-year period, including potential crimes that many believe implicated the President himself in the multimillion influence-peddling operation,' Turley wrote in a thread on
