Jimmy Carter Says Brett Kavanaugh Unfit To Serve As Supreme Court JusticeThe former president slammed Kavanaugh for losing his cool during his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last month.
...........
Whether or not [Kavanaugh] attempted to rape a woman ... I thought he was temperamentally unfit to serve on the Supreme Court because of his outburst during the hearing, Carter can be heard telling the students in a video posted to Facebook.
I think most of the American people were not in favor of his being on the Supreme Court, he added. Judging by his previous legal career, he was very qualified. But ... I think he did attack her sexually and I know that I saw him lose his cool.
President Donald Trumps most recent Supreme Court nomination isnt the only decision Carter has spoken out against. The longtime Democrat told students at another Emory event last month that he would like to change all of Trumps policies.
If I were foolish enough to feel I could be president again, I think the first thing I would do would be to change all of the policies that President Trump has initiated, he said.

That'd be the first item on my agenda if I became President. Destroy, undo, roll back, cancel, or erase ANYTHING move or measure that had donald's name attached. I wouldn't even hang his pResidential* portrait. I'd stash it and Melania's inevitable one in a basement closet somewhere. The next republi-CON can go dig it out if need be.

It wasn't a "serious mistake", it was a purposeful "fuck you" to Trump's dissenters.
