Congresswoman Calls For Dhimmi Carter's Passport To Be Revoked

Thankfully, every once in a while, someone in Congress comes up with a good idea. Rep. Myrick has called for Former President Jimmy Carter's passport to be revoked for meeting with a terrorist organization.

He no longer travels aboard Air Force One; now former President Jimmy Carter could be restricted to domestic flights.

It's not likely to happen, but Rep. Sue Myrick, R-N.C., wants Carter's U.S. passport pulled because he met Thursday with members of Hamas in the Middle East.

Hamas is the party of the elected government in the Palestinian territory of Gaza. The State Department lists Hamas as a terrorist group, however, meaning U.S. officials are not to meet with them.

Myrick has called for Carter's passport to be removed and for U.S. taxpayer money to be cut off from the Carter Center, the former president's library and global humanitarian institution in Atlanta.

[...]

"He's just unilaterally going off on his own and undermining everything the international community and the United States is trying to do," said Myrick, contending that Carter's willingness to meet with Hamas has lent credibility to a terror group.

"He's legitimizing them when they shouldn't be legitimized."
