Online tributes have been rolling in for former President Jimmy Carter, after it was announced that the 98-year-old statesman would enter hospice care at home following a recent series of short hospital stays.
Politicians, celebrities, organizations and more have been heaping praise on the one-term Democrat who continued leading a life of public service long after he left the White House.
« Jimmy Carter is one of the kindest most thoughtful people I’ve ever had the honor of meeting, » comedian and writer Jon Stewart said. « He’s the best of us. »
Former comedian-turned-senator Al Franken simply said Carter was the « greatest ex-president. By far. »
A number of current politicians — both Democrats and Republicans — also celebrated Carter’s accomplishments.
