Former President Jimmy Carter criticized President Trump for his initial reaction to the death of Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., but said Trump righted his wrong, and that was what mattered.

“I thought that President Trump made a mistake at first by not recognizing John McCain’s unquestioned commitment to our country in the Navy and as a prisoner of war and also in his service in Congress. And I think both his critics and also his supporters made it plain to him that he had made a mistake when the flag was up and down and so forth,” Carter told Fox News host Neil Cavuto on Fox Business Tuesday afternoon.
