Jimmy Carter supports his friend Paula Deen
June 27, 2013
With seemingly every retailer fleeing from Paula Deen, one former Georgia president is coming to her defense.
Jimmy Carter told CNN that they were old friends and he said to just “let the dust settle to make apologies.”
“She has some very beneficial human programs in Savannah, Ga., where she lives,” he said. “I advised her to get some of those people who she’s helping every day to speak out and show that she has changed in her relationship with African-American people, with minorities in the last number of years.”
What shall I do? I don’t want to be traitor to the conservative movement? My husband loves the broccoli salad she taught me, and the neighbors have come to expect the lemon squares that is her recipe.
BTW, we are not allowed to say ‘Jimmah’s” name in our house, without spitting over our shoulder after. ;)
