Jimmy Carter: Trump Made a ‘Very Serious Mistake’ Delaying Lowering the Flag for McCain

EXCERPT:

MITCHELL: "First I want to talk to you about what is really overwhelming in the country, the mourning for John McCain. As a former president, can you explain or justify an American president for hours and hours refusing to lower the American flag and not even mentioning the death of an American hero, a former prisoner of war?"
CARTER: "Well I think there was a very serious mistake that President Trump made. And his friends and his opponents corrected him, I think, quite adequately. And now this most recent statement he’s made, I'd say is OK, is still not as enthusiastic as it should be. I was proud to be graduated at the Naval Academy like John McCain’s, and his heroism in a war and his service in the military in general and also his service in the Congress of the United States just made me proud to be a fellow graduate."
