The Texas governor was under fire for his mistake in a message to the Carter family following Jimmy Carter's death.

Shortly after the death of former President Jimmy Carter on Sunday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott mistakenly wished his condolences to Carter’s late wife Rosalynn, who died in 2023.

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) made an embarrassing flub with his statement that paid tribute to former President Jimmy Carter, who died Sunday aged 100. The Donald Trump-admiring Republican governor hailed Carter for his “selfless service to the American people” in a statement shared on social media.
