Hugh Hewitt Says Jimmy Carter Passed Knowing He Wasn’t America’s ‘Worst President’

Radio host Hugh Hewitt said Monday evening on Fox Business that former President Jimmy Carter passed away knowing he wasn’t the “worst president,” thanks to President Joe Biden taking that title.

The Carter Center confirmed Sunday that the 100-year-old former Democratic president had passed away while in hospice care in Plains, Ga. On “Kudlow,” Hewitt was asked about Biden’s response to President-elect Donald Trump’s Truth Socialpost about Carter’s passing. Trump said that while he “strongly disagreed with him philosophically and politically,” he believed that Carter “truly loved and respected our country.”

Hewitt said he thought that comment was “very gracious by President Trump.”

“I’m not so sure that Joe Biden’s stab at a comment in the Virgin Islands, ‘decency, decent, decency,’ wasn’t aimed at Donald Trump rather than at the eulogizing of Jimmy Carter. In fact, it was indecent what he did with the 37 murderers whose sentences he commuted,” Hewitt said.

“President Biden is not capable of discharging the office right now,” Hewitt added. “He ought to have resigned more than a year ago, as the Wall Street Journal reported earlier this month. I think what we are seeing is a man fairly desperate to do something that is a signature accomplishment.”
