Abbott's statement initially expressed condolences to Rosalynn Carter, who passed away in 2022, rather than to the late president himself. This oversight was quickly corrected.
In a heartfelt message, Abbott praised President Carter's legacy, noting his 'selfless service' as 'husband, father, naval officer, governor and Nobel Prize winner'.
The error was reported by fact-checking organization Snopes, which highlighted the significance of Jimmy Carter’s life and legacy as a long-serving public figure.
The upcoming state funeral on January 9 is significant, as it marks an occasion for all former presidents and first ladies to gather in honor of a notable leader.
