Former President Jimmy Carter passed away on Sunday and the regime media wasted no time in putting together an embellished tribute for his presidency. CNN’s Paula Reid followed suit during the first hour of Monday’s This Morning episode, inviting CNN presidential historian Tim Naftali to hype Carter’s apparently “immense courage” and “smart effort” in attempting to solve the disastrous Iranian hostage crisis.
Reid and Naftali began by heaping praise on Carter’s post-presidency humanitarian efforts and his commitment to a global mission to “uphold democracy, to observe elections, but also to think about, and assist, and raise money for public health” through the establishment of the Carter Center. According to Naftali, the former president was “a trained engineer and a problem solver. And he thought that he would take advantage, he would use his celebrity to do good works around the world.”
They failed to mention, however, that this involved Carter devoting his energy to interfering with foreign policy in succeeding administrations. A recent National Review article analyzing his legacy even described his actions as treasonous, carefully noting his specific moves that undermined the initiatives of sitting U.S. presidents.
