Later that same day, Carter commented on recent developments involving Pam Bondi: “Pam Bondi has been fired and it’s about damn time. Accountability matters, and justice will prevail.

On April 3, 2026, he acknowledged Good Friday with a message for those observing the holiday: “Today, we pause to reflect on the true meaning of sacrifice and renewal that Good Friday represents.
