Former President Jimmy Carter has issued a stark warning on the anniversary of the Capitol insurrection. In a new op-ed in The New York Times, the 39th president warns about right-wing attacks on the country’s electoral system and the spread of disinformation. Carter writes, “Our great nation now teeters on the brink of a widening abyss. Without immediate action, we are at genuine risk of civil conflict and losing our precious democracy.” Jimmy Carter is now 97 years old and the longest-living former president in U.S. history.
