The tweet text reads...

Across life’s seasons, President Jimmy Carter, a man of great faith, has walked with God. In this tender time of transitioning, God is surely walking with him.

May he, Rosalynn & the entire Carter family be comforted with that peace and surrounded by our love & prayers.

Pres. Carter was the first vote I ever cast in a presidential election. I believed in him then, and I never lost faith in him. I don't think there could be a better example of what a human being is suppose to be. May he and his family find faith and solace in each other during this time. President Carter, you have no idea how much you will be missed.

What happened, btw? I've been dealing with my own bout of fibromyalgia and have been pretty much out of it. What took him to the hospital? Was it a return of cancer?

The man has earned his rest, no doubt. I just wondered what precipitated it.

No preaching or pontificating. He just lived it day to day. And as far as I can recall, he’s the only President in the modern era who has.

Thank you Senator Warnock for a fitting and lovely expression of love and comfort for the Carter family. President Carter enriched this country greatly by the path he trod in his long life. I am grateful to have called this fine man my President.

"I like presidents that win in big landslides--like both of my wins."

(actually, I made this up, but it's probably not far from what he would really say.)

Fucking reagan beat him in 1980. He remained my president anyway, through what would have been his second term. reagan was a photo-op “Christian.” Jimmy Carter is still the real deal. He’s lived his faith.

after they leave office. They raise money for their libraries. They go on the speaking tour at $100k per speech. Golf.

Jimmy Carter founded Habitat for Humanity and actually worked on the sites. An honorable man and a humble man. A life well lived. When will Ron ban his books?
