This is disgusting. President Carter did his duty regardless if you agreed with everything he did or not. When you go into PUBLIC OFFICES this is a bare minimum that is expected, respect those that have served. You think everyone in the military agrees with everything he did president? Año but they understand or used to understand the mutual respect that is afforded for serving in public office and in military. People that cannot afford these common decent minimal expectations, shouldn’t serve as they show they are incapable of working for THE PEOPLE, regardless of age sex and or background.

And I have no doubt that Trump (the target of two recent assassination attempts) will have his death celebrated with popping champagne corks and dancing in the streets by the elitists in academia and the legacy media.

He is maga through and through. It is so disheartening every election, but I'm staying, trying to educate, and voting blue every election.
We fly the flag to honor people who contributed to America. For those that served the nation and people. The flag lowered to half staff when someone passes that sacrificed, served or led America in times of peace and war. To refuse to honor the former president is a slap in the face of the nation and to all those that served the nation.
Total disrespect for the office of the president Carter was a man of integrity and dedication to the nation without the need for personal political and financial aggrandizement. That's a ton more than at least one who comes to mind.
How low has this country sunk. We're in trouble,big trouble as citizens of the United States of. No class,education,no principles. What happened to us??
Very disrespectful and no class. Whether or not you agreed with his politics he was the president and after he left office did a lot of good for people.
@ I suspect I knew him as much as you do…just saying. My comment is about following protocol and respect for the flag in regards to any and all Presidents.
No. It’s someone recognizing that Jimmy Carter was one of the worst presidents in American history. His foreign and domestic policies greatly weakened this country. ( ! )
Such DISRESPECT 😳😳😳 I’m a proud Army veteran served from 1981-1996 and I’m a DNA Proud Democrat for not lowing the American 🇺🇸 flag for the death of a President Democrat or Republican is completely DISGRACEFUL and DISHONORABLE to the Office of the Presidency and to America 🇺🇸. That executive needs to be removed from office and jailed.
I believe it’s an elected office. The voters should take this into account. I would be unlikely to support him in the future(even if I agreed with him on other issues). This is a respect thing and I not a Carter fan. I also think Hochul gave the order.
@shaydailly are we all gonna get federally funded funerals too now? Of course, the people who decide how the money is spent are all right with it paying for their own
And keep a copy of this video handy when some official refuses to lower the flag when Bruce Blakeman's guy moves on. Or Blakeman himself. Also useful for certain people who become apoplectic when they simply perceive disrespect to a veteran.
