“Hastily copy and paste”: Bill Clinton trolled tribute to Dianne Feinstein instead of Rosalynn Carter
WASHINGTON, DC: Former President Bill Clinton angered social media users after posting a tribute to former first lady Rosalynn Carter on Sunday, November 10.
While the tribute was originally intended to honor the late Carter, who passed away at the age of 96, the post mistakenly paid homage to Dianne Feinstein, who passed away about two months ago.

Internet users were quick to react to Clinton and his wife Hillary Clinton’s tribute to Carter, calling it a “hasty copy and paste.”
The tribute began with a short message that read: “Rosalynn Carter was the epitome of a life lived with purpose.”
After writing “my and Hillary’s full statement”, the Clintons posted the full typed statement online where the late Senator Feinstein’s name can be seen even in the first sentence of the condolence message.
The statement began with the message: “Hillary and I are deeply saddened by the passing of our friend Senator Dianne Feinstein…”.

Internet users criticized the former president for his gaffe and accused him of not having proofread the message before posting it online, with some even accusing him of copying and pasting the same document.
