#RIPJimmyCarter -- #Humanitarian #ClimateChangePioneer #NiceGuy. My late grandmother volunteered to get him elected and worked on his re-election campaign, and said he was the only decent human being to run for the office.

"That stunning reporting this weekend by The New York Times is prompting a rethinking of presidential history."
