RIP, President Carter.🙏🏽😢
When it was released that former President Carter was entering hospice care, I😪😪😪😪.
Jimmy Carter was the first American President that I remember.Jimmy Carter was almost too good a man to be President. His post-Presidency was amazing.
A truly wonderful man, ahead of his time with regards to energy independence.
A beautiful human being.
Republicans believe calling someone Jimmy Carter is a slur. That’s because they are complete scumbags.
The way this man had our hearts and respect.😔
It was well over a year ago that I prepped this post. That President Carter has been in hospice for over a year, I was stunned. Finally having to post this post….makes me so sad.

Been thinking about how rare it is now to see an elected official with President Jimmy Carter's basic decency and deep commitment to helping others. The definition of a leader and public servant. We don't have many Jimmy Carters serving in elected office anymore.

What I remember vividly, to this day, is Jimmy Carter's downcast look. He'd been defeated, but there was something else in his eyes. That's why we in the press pool asked his aides, why so sad? Their reply, above. We had no clue about Connally. Peter Baker, fine reporting.

Last year, Jimmy Carter asked President Biden to deliver his eulogy—a testament to Biden’s rare ability to capture the depth of grief and humanity.
Dubbed the “Eulogizer in Chief,” Biden’s unmatched empathy has marked farewells to many, including:
John McCain (2018) – Senator and close friend
Ted Kennedy (2009) – Longtime Senator and ally
Daniel Inouye (2012) – Senator and WWII hero
Fritz Hollings (2019) – Former South Carolina Senator
John Warner (2021) – Virginia Senator and Navy veteran
Bob Dole (2021) – Senator and WWII hero
Harry Reid (2022) – Senate Majority Leader
Elijah Cummings (2019) – Congressman and civil rights leader
