Sen. Mitch McConnell on Carter Loss: Unshakable Calm Spirit
Sen. Mitch McConnell said the loss of former President Jimmy Carter would be felt for generations, and he would be remembered most for his “humble devotion.”
“Elaine and I join the Senate and the nation in mourning the passing of our 39th president, Jimmy Carter,” the Senate minority leader said in a statement Sunday.
“President Carter served during times of tension and uncertainty, both at home and abroad. But his calm spirit and deep faith seemed unshakeable.

And his humble devotion leaves us little doubt which of those two important roles he prized the most.”
