James Carter IV, grandson of former President Jimmy Carter and the late former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, reacted to a report of former President Donald Trump mocking his grandfather at an Iowa campaign event, just one day after it was announced that Mrs. Carter had entered hospice care.
The political organization Really American reported: “Trump, criticizing Biden in Fort Dodge, Iowa, quipped, ‘the happiest person anywhere in this country right now is Jimmy Carter because his administration looked brilliant compared to these clowns.’ He added, ‘Compared to Biden, Jimmy Carter was a brilliant, brilliant president.'”
I hate that my grandfather’s name is in Trump’s mouth at all, but I am not offended. For a Democrat, being mocked by Trump is high praise. https://t.co/3DkEkiyxO6
