'Abomination': Top Republicans blasted as Jimmy Carter is brought to the Capitol

Fans of the late former President Jimmy Carter weren't happy to see Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) delivering speeches as the late Democrat was placed in the Capitol rotunda.

Several people commented that Johnson incorrectly said that Carter served in the Army and then followed it with the detail that Carter was on a submarine.

Kieran Francke, a Democratic Party Committee person from Chester County, Pennsylvania, pointed out on Bluesky that Carter was the only president to ever graduate from the Naval Academy and served on one of the first nuclear submarines.

Ted Johnson, a Washington, D.C. correspondent for Deadline, also noticed that Fox News was the only U.S. news network to skip the remarks. Instead, they showed their daily show, "The Five."

Oh, come on now. Republicans consider intelligence to be elitist.
