Greg Abbott, the Republican governor of Texas, mistakenly expressed condolences to Rosalynn Carter shortly after the death of her husband, Jimmy Carter.
Abbott sent a statement offering "prayers and deepest condolences" to the former first lady's family, not realizing she had died more than a year prior, on November 19, 2023.
The mistake was highlighted on social media, prompting comments questioning if Abbott’s office had proofread the statement.
Hours later, Abbott issued a revised statement that omitted references to Rosalynn, focusing solely on Jimmy Carter's legacy.
This incident follows a previous gaffe where Abbott shared a fake news article about country singer Garth Brooks, leading to ridicule online.
