Wallace: “President Jimmy Carter’s post-presidency can be tied to President Bill Clinton’s Clinton Foundation post-presidency work, can be connected to George W. Bush’s Bush Foundation, continuation of PEPFAR program he launched as president. The president-elect was of course president and for four years I’m not cognizant of anything in the spirit of the Clinton Foundation, the Carter post-presidency, or the Bush Foundation.”

SHARPTON: “No, I think that he clearly saw his post-presidency as not the end of his making a contribution. You know, there’s a quote by Mark Twain. The two most important moments in life is to find when you were born and then why you were born. And I think Jimmy Carter figured out why he was born. He was born to serve, and he never stopped serving. And he saw, I think, politics as a tool to serve. The quote from Reinhold Niebuhr, politics is to get justice in a sinful world. I think he saw it that way. He was very religious and that was not something he just used for campaign. He taught Sunday school till he couldn’t teach it anymore. And the times I’d be around him, he’d say, Reverend Al, I see out there with your activism, how’s your ministry? I said, well, that is my ministry, Mr. President. He says, how’s your prayer life? I mean, he really believed in what he was doing and you could feel it. You know, sometimes you can feel people more than you can hear them. He was the guy you could feel was the real deal.”
