Former President Jimmy Carter, while gushing about Vermont's Bernie Sanders, candidly told a crowd on Monday he voted for the independent senator over Democrat Hillary Clinton during the 2016 Democratic primary.
Sanders and Carter shared the stage at the Carter Center in Atlanta for a conversation on human rights. There, Sanders spoke with his campaign-style vigor on a range of issues, from American values, the need to "revitalize American democracy" and boost voter turnout.
After Sanders presented one of his many comments, Carter spilled his endorsement with, "Can you all see why I voted for him?"
It drew laughs from Sanders, Carter, and the crowd. The one-term president didn't expand on his pick. He did add "dissatisfaction with the existing system of politics" resulted in President Trump's election.
