Jimmy Carter celebrated on social media after former president enters hospice care

After it was announced Saturday that former President Jimmy Carter decided to enter hospice care, tributes for the former president began pouring in on social media.

The Carter Center revealed Saturday that the 98-year-old former Democratic politician was entering hospice care “instead of additional medical attention."

"Across life’s seasons, President Jimmy Carter, a man of great faith, has walked with God. In this tender time of transitioning, God is surely walking with him. May he, Rosalynn & the entire Carter family be comforted with that peace and surrounded by our love & prayers," tweeted fellow Georgia resident Sen. Raphael Warnock (D-GA).

Former the Daily Show host Jon Stewart also reacted, writing, "Jimmy Carter is one of the kindest most thoughtful people I’ve ever had the honor of meeting. He’s the best of us."
