On Sunday, former President Bill Clinton made a humiliating social media error by sharing what he appeared to be a memorial to former First Lady Rosalynn Carter, who passed away at the age of 96.
Clinton shared a pre-written statement with the following caption, co-authored by the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton: “Rosalynn Carter was the embodiment of a life lived with purpose. My and HIllary’s full statement.” Regretfully, the 77-year-old Democrat tweeted a message on the passing of Sen. Dianne Feinstein from September rather than an image of a statement on Carter.

Introducing Rosalynn, the powerful US First Lady who served as president of the United States from 1977 to 1981 under Jimmy Carter.
An account posted about the gaffe on X, noting, “Somebody is getting fired. When your staffer releases the wrong memo. Seriously- Bill Clinton, 77, accidentally releases tribute to DIANNE FEINSTEIN instead of Rosalynn Carter after Former first lady died aged 96.”
The Daily Mail promptly deleted the error from their piece and released an updated version.
The statement was amended to read, “Rosalynn Carter was a compassionate and committed champion of human dignity everywhere. Throughout her long, remarkable life, she was an unwavering voice for the overlooked and underrepresented.”
“Thanks to her mental health advocacy, more people live with better care and less stigma. Because of her early leadership on childhood immunization, millions of Americans have grown up healthier.”
“And through her decades of work at the Carter Center and with Habitat for Humanity, she spread hope, health and democracy across the globe,” he continued.
“Rosalynn will be forever remembered as the embodiment of a life lived with purpose. Hillary and I are deeply grateful for her extraordinary service to our nation and world, and for more than 40 years of friendship.”

He concluded, “Our prayers are with President Carter, Jack, Chip, Jeff, Amy, and the entire Carter family.”
Carter’s unexpected death stunned the community with his tragic loss of a beloved personality. Carter sadly passed away from her dementia just two days after being admitted to hospice care. Her four daughters, eleven devoted grandkids, and her devoted husband of 99 years will all carry on her indomitable spirit.
The former president, in mourning, said to reporters, “Rosalynn was my equal partner in everything I ever accomplished.”
“She gave me wise guidance and encouragement when I needed it. As long as Rosalynn was in the world, I always knew somebody loved and supported me.”
According to reports, the First Lady and the former president had special times together in her final days.
