NATHALIE PALACIOUS FROM CBS NEWS
Following the death of former U.S. President Jimmy Carter, many leaders around the world offered their condolences to the Carter family. However, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott is catching some heat for his initial statement on Sunday afternoon.
In his original statement, now removed from the governor’s X account, Abbott mistakenly sent condolences to the late Rosalynn Carter. The former first lady died in November 2023.
Abbott started the statement by describing Carter’s “great legacy as a husband, father, naval officer, governor and Nobel prize winner.”
The original statement ended with, “Cecilia and I send our prayers and deepest condolences to First Lady Rosalynn Carter and the entire Carter family.”
