"The U.S. Navy has changed the name of a Naval Academy campus building that formerly held the name of a Confederate leader to honor former Democratic President Jimmy Carter."

At least Carter was a naval officer.
Probably a klans, uh, person. Yeah, klansperson, that’s it.
From the article:
Secretary of the Navy Carlos Del Toro

Today, we kicked off Presidents Day weekend by renaming the former Maury Hall after Jimmy Carter, @NavalAcademy c/o 1947 and our 39th President of the United States. The Midshipmen who will study in Carter Hall will be reminded of Carter’s example and legacy of lifelong service.
That reminder should help to keep them from supporting the Dems.
I actually probably have more respect for Carter than any of the other living ex-Presidents, with the exception of Trump. Disagreed with him, sure. But I do respect he did some things he knew would be unpopular. And note, most Democrats today don’t care for him neither. And I know he despises Bill Clinton.
“a democrat”
...best point yet!
Just name it after who is now the third worst recent president (maybe 3rd worst all time), just because she is a democRAT.
He gave China the Panama Canal.
I disagree with the Canal giveaway, but it’s a stretch to say he gave it to China.
Removed a Confederate name and replaced it with a name from the party that founded the Klan.
Well done.

Yes, and three of his four great-grandfather’s served for the side of the angels, two as officers. The fourth was almost 50 when the recent unpleasantness broke out between the States.
They own it. And as a stupid 20 year old in 1976 I voted for this clown.
You idiot. Maury was an internationally renowned figure in the development of oceanography. His statue was one of those removed from Monument Avenue. Professional men normally never voted or had any political connections in the small and almost religiously professional pre War Between the States US military.
In 1849 Jimmy’s great-great-grandfather Wiley Carter owned 29 slaves and 5,642 acres in 11 Georgia counties.
I have to agree with you not only about living ex-presidents, but even every nominee of every major party since Reagan.
He might make a better neighbor than Trump, but a worse president. I’d pick Reagan over both.
Carter is at least a half-way human being who has the excuse of getting in over his head while trying to be a nice guy. Ike and Truman seem to me finer specimens.
Full up commy globalist SJW. He tried to use religion as a shield to his world view
So was Matthew Fontaine Maury, and he was a very fine one and had a far more profound effect on the US Navy than Carter.
There was never a smirch against his honor known. This is just more Stalinism from the rebellious US Navy leadership.
Well, Maury resigned his US commission to join the Confederacy, just like Robert E Lee. Lee was also a democrat.
Idiots are also of many stripes.
I like(d) Jimmy Carter’s quiet personality....and I also like Maury (that would be Povich)
