Carter Gets to Wave But Not Speak
Former President Jimmy Carter got a tribute video at the Democratic National Convention Monday night but he didn’t get to address the delegates and barely spent five minutes on stage.
As soon as the video about Carter’s work in New Orleans concluded, the former president and his wife Rosalynn walked out onto the stage, waved to the crowd, hugged and kissed House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, and then they exited the stage.
The crowd applauded during the short event, which happened 8:40 p.m. ET, before the networks began their hour of primetime coverage.
