Fox’s Will Cain Slams Biden Over ‘Decency’ Lesson Trump Can Learn from Jimmy Carter
Fox News host Will Cain took issue with Joe Biden’s recent comment that President-elect Donald Trump could learn “decency” from recently passed President Jimmy Carter, insisting he has “no standing” to make such a dig.
Biden spoke to reporters from his vacation in the U.S. Virgin Islands Sunday evening following news of the death of the 100-year-old former US president, partly reading aloud from his official statement and describing his friendship with President Carter and his late wife, Rosalynn Carter.
At one point, Biden zeroed in on one reporter from among several who spoke simultaneously to answer what he thinks Trump should “take” from former President Carter: “decency.”
“Is there anything President Trump could take from President Carter?” the reporter asked, to which Biden replied, “Decency. Decency. Decency.”
“On the note of Joe Biden…I’ll accept the message without accepting the messenger,” Cain said, explaining, “I accept that Jimmy Carter was an example of decency. I don’t necessarily want to hear that from Joe Biden when he’s using it actually as a political tool to suggest that Donald Trump is indecent.”
“That was in response to a question about Donald Trump and comparing the two, I believe, when he invoked Biden invoked decency,” Cain explained. “I don’t think Biden has the standing to testify to someone’s decency, quite honestly. But that doesn’t mean he’s wrong about Jimmy Carter and Jimmy Carter, a decent man.”
This comment came after fellow Fox & Friends co-host Katie Pavlich used the occasion of Carter’s passing to score political points against Biden, insisting that the two Democratic presidents share a lot of comparisons by listing what she, and many, deemed as political failures of both.
“There are reasons why there are comparisons of the Biden presidency — 0ne-term president — to the Carter era in terms of unemployment, the economy, disasters around the world. Foreign policy, Iran, Hamas having a foothold in a number of places,” she explained, concluding, “Comparisons between the two administrations are not in good ways as we should say.”
