CO State Rep Celebrates Jimmy Carter's Death With 'Champaigne'
While normal Colorado politicians paid tribute to former president Jimmy Carter, at least one MAGA politician, state Rep Matt Soper (R-Delta) decided to beclown himself instead. Soper's late night tweet did not go over well and he deleted it, saying later, "While I am not a fan of former President Carter, expressing the sentiments I did, I am very sorry for and apologise to the people of Colorado."

“Opened a bottle of Champaigne [sic] tonight!” State Rep. Matt Soper, R-Delta, said in a Sunday night post on X. “The world is rid of a despot!”
Soper, who won reelection in an unopposed race last month, deleted the post early Monday morning.
When asked about the remarks, Soper responded to KUNC via text saying, "My tweet/X was in poor taste. While I am not a fan of former President Carter, expressing the sentiments I did, I am very sorry for and apologise to the people of Colorado.”
When Kyle Clark at KUSA finished with the embarrassment that is Matt Soper, he went on to tell a more uplifting story about how President Carter helped complete a park in Denver at Helen Ginsburg's request.
