GOP lawmaker apologizes after celebrating death of 'despot' Jimmy Carter with champagne

Raw Story  

A Colorado Republican has apologized after posting on social media that he was celebrating former President Jimmy Carter's death by popping open a bottle of champagne. Jimmy Carter died Sunday at the age of 100 at his home in Plains, Georgia, where he was surrounded by family. State Rep. Matt Soper, who represents the counties of Delta and Mesa, openly celebrated Carter's death late Sunday on X, according to The Daily Sentinel in Grand Junction, Colorado. "My only comment will be that my Tweet/X was in poor taste and while I am not a fan of fmr Pres Carter, expressing the sentiments I did I am very sorry for and apologise to the people of Colorado," he said.
