Abbott’s Condolences to Deceased Rosalynn Carter Spark Outrage
Texas Governor Greg Abbott mistakenly included condolences to Rosalynn Carter in his statement regarding the death of former President Jimmy Carter, despite her passing in November 2023. His office subsequently released a revised statement omitting the error. The initial blunder, along with a previous incident involving a shared satirical article, drew criticism on social media. Abbott’s actions contrast with the positive work of country music stars Trisha Yearwood and Garth Brooks, who participated in a Carter-affiliated Habitat for Humanity project.
