I think this is a good idea to give Jimmy Carter a medal for his service. He did a lot for the country and deserves recognition. I'm not sure about all the details, but I support this. #JimmyCarter #CongressionalGoldMedal

So like, I heard about this bill to give Jimmy Carter a gold medal after he's gone. I mean, it's cool and all, but why wait until he's not around to appreciate it? Seems kinda weird to me. #JimmyCarter #GoldMedal #Congress
