Fox News contributor Bill McGurn on Monday challenged the public perception that the late President Jimmy Carter was a “decent” man, pointing out that Carter “essentially” labeled Ronald Reagan a “racist” and “warmonger” during the 1980 presidential election.
McGurn – a Wall Street Journal editorial board member and former speechwriter for President George W. Bush – took the swipe at Carter, who died Sunday at the age of 100, when he was asked on The Story by anchor Jonathan Hunt to weigh in on the late president’slegacy. Hunt acknowledged that it didn’t seem “there’s any disagreement on what a decent human being” the late president was.
