    Jimmy Carter lets loose: Knocks Obama and Hillary, says Russia didn’t alter election, praises Trump

    Oct 22, 2017 3:04 pm

    At 93, Jimmy Carter’s presidential days are long behind him, but the 39th president is still very in tune with national politics. He made his views about some of the latest pressing national issues very clear in a recent interview with New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd.

    On Russia meddling in the election:
    Dowd asked Carter: “Did the Russians purloin the election from Hillary [Clinton]?”
    Carter said: “Rosie and I have a difference of opinion on that.” Rosie is Carter’s wife.
    “I don’t think there’s any evidence that what the Russians did changed enough votes, or any votes,” Carter followed up.

    On President Donald Trump:
    Carter said: “I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I’ve known about. I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation.”

    On Obama:
    In the interview, Carter also knocked former President Barack Obama.
    “He made some very wonderful statements, in my opinion, when he first got in office, and then he reneged on that,” Carter said of Obama’s Middle East policies.
    Carter also lamented “the fact that Obama joined in the bombing of Yemen,” according to Dowd. However, Carter confirmed all 22 members of his family voted for Obama. He also said he doesn’t have Obama’s email address, meaning he likely doesn’t directly talk to the 44th president.

    On the Clinton Foundation:
    When Dowd tried to draw comparisons between the Carter Center and the Clinton Foundation, Carter struck it down.
    “Rosie and I put money in the Carter Center. We never take any out,” he said, implying the Clinton Foundation does.

    On NFL kneeling protests:
    Carter said: “I think they ought to find a different way to object, to demonstrate. I would rather see all the players stand during the American anthem.”

    Reporters may have been doing bit of editorializing but he did seem to show soft corner for Trump, offered his help to work for Trump:

    1. 'I would go, yes'

    Carter told the Times he's willing to go to North Korea amid the ongoing tensions over nuclear weapons.
    "I would go, yes," he said.
    He said he has talked with Trump's national security adviser, Lt. Gen. H. R. McMaster, about his intentions but was given "a negative response."
    "I told him that I was available if they ever need me," he said.

    It would not be the first time Carter collaborates with a president or travels to North Korea in a diplomatic mission. In 2010, he negotiated the release of an imprisoned US citizen.


    4. 'I think the media have been harder on Trump'

    It appears that Carter defended Trump a few times during the interview.

    Carter said Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin doesn't bother him.

    "At the Carter Center," he told the Times, "we deal with Putin and the Russians quite frequently concerning Syria."
    He praised Trump for taking the initiative to reach out to Saudi Arabia and said the President has been under a stricter spotlight than his predecessors.

    "I think the media have been harder on Trump than any other president certainly that I've known about," Carter replied. "I think they feel free to claim that Trump is mentally deranged and everything else without hesitation."
    But he said that Trump was deepening racial divisions in the US.
    "Yes, I think he is exacerbating it," he said. "But maybe not deliberately."
