Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) gave his heartfelt regards to former President Jimmy Carter on Tuesday after he shared on social media a fake letter that claimed the 99-year-old had died.
“Former President Jimmy Carter has died. My thoughts and prayers are with his family,” the senator wrote in a quickly deleted post on X, with a picture of the “letter” attached. Many far-right internet personalities, including former Republican congressional candidate Laura Loomer, also shared the false claims.
