On January 9, 2025, U.S. President Joe Biden spoke during the State Funeral service for former President Jimmy Carter at the Washington National Cathedral in Washington, D.C.
President Joe Biden said:
“Jimmy Carter’s enduring attribute: character, character, character.”
“Jimmy Carter also established a model post-presidency.”
“Throughout his life, he showed us what it means to be a practitioner of good works and a good and faithful servant of God, and of the people. And today, many think he was from a bygone era, but in reality he saw well into the future.”
“May God bless a great American, a dear friend, and a good man.”
“We have an obligation to give hate no safe harbor, and to stand up to what what my dad used to say is the greatest sin of all: the abuse of power.”
