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

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott accidentally sent condolences for President Jimmy Carter's death to his late wife Rosalynn Carter, who died over a year ago.

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.
