President Carter Could Sabotage Son's Senate Run With Statements

This site featured an article about Jack Carter and his bid for a U.S. Senate seat. In that article, found here, I stated that President Carter could be a liability if he were to move out of the shadows from his son's campaign. He's now become that liability.

Former President Jimmy Carter published an opinion piece in the Washington Post that stated the U.S. and Israeli governments should allow the Palestinians to form a government without sanctions. It appears he is Pro-Hamas or at the very least an appeaser thereto.

This is exactly what his son's campaign did not need. The President is becoming a distraction that to Jack's campaign. The campaign cannot put all of its resources towards its own goals if it has to defend statements of his father.

This is a free country and President Carter is afforded the freedoms to say as he wishes. However, it is strategically the wrong time for him to say something controversial. This is the type of statement that can undermind his son's campaign.
