He’s that douchebag from the Springs, right? Had some hissy fit a couple years ago about how you can’t afford a house because Biden and lives in a 5000sq McMansion?
Losing Jimmy Carter is on par with the passing of Billy Graham. Matt Soper is jealous of that respect which he will NEVER sniff. The only record of Soper in the history books will be his complete submission to an authoritarian leader that will read as one of the darkest moments in American History.
What is interesting is that he believes in the ACTUAL worst President. Funny how his little mind operates. But, he did provide a good way to celebrate when Trump is called back home to hell. Champagne corks popping will break the sound harrier.
I don't claim to know what horrific degenerative mental disease has afflicted so many Republicans. I only hope it's not transmissible to the rest of us.
Despot...because Carter said, during the oil crisis, to lower the thermostat and put on a sweater. The boy is displaying his ignorance. He would have been in 1st grade when Carter took office.
I did see that and thought it a coincidence. I was a bit distracted when I wrote it. My husband was having cancer surgery. I'm usually much better at research. Thanks again.
Any other time in history, his party would have forced him to resign. Unfortunately, this behavior has become a requirement for the Republican Party and their voters.
Have you noticed how magats attack those who try to help avg. people? They villainize those who help the needy while exalting those that take in greed. Soper needs to take a closer look at Carters life & see that he’s not even in the same moral & ethical level as the former POTUS. Deplorable.
he forced Egypt and Israel to talk, watch movies, listen to his kid and her friend play violin, and negotiated one of the only lasting peace treaties the US brokered in its history. What a despot!
What a complete and utter shitbag. I took a quick glance at his "X" account. Yup, he talks about "God’s leading and answering prayers with miracles". Shitbag 🤬
They are all either grifters and/or fucking idiots that make for easy marks.
Look, I'll celebrate the death of Trump. But I'll at least be able to be honest about what he really was while doing it. Calling Carter a despot is just ignorant as fuck.
Couldn't even spell Champagne correctly. What is that idiot ghoul doing in a leadership? Answer: He's in a right-wing district. This district is the same one that elected dumbass Boebert before she changed districts.
Wow! So sorry for my state, again. What a moron and so totally uneducated. This fool represents the worst CO has. Yea, Carter was a despot...if you are a Guinea worm.
Well, they sure keep proving over and over and over, what loathsome partisan assholes they are. It’s on the record what side they were on when the country collapsed — and it was the side of the criminal rapist and traitor, while criticizing a man who was still working to house poor Americans at 90+
Unbelievable, that we have elected officials who are such jackass’s. I remember a time that he would have been called to resign. Sad state of America when this type of behavior is condoned.
Is the right wing upset that Carter led the eradication of guinea worm disease around the world? Or was it the peace accords? Affordable housing? Mad he liked Sunday school and solar panels? Too much deregulation of in the airline and trucking industries? https://www.cartercenter.org/health/guinea_worm/index.html
His level of hate stems from years of indoctrination in hate, and is the reason I don’t feel safe driving through the American countryside anymore. Rural evangelical types are too often cruel and bigoted. It’s a shame.
I wonder how Soper would feel if everyone reciprocated and toasted his death, then apologized for their "poor taste". Loathsome turd should learn to engage his brain before his mouth.
This is a terrible thing to say. Cong. Soper you hit the lowest of the low and kept going. Not a believer in good Christian principles you people like to go on about in your "I'm saved" irritating way. Well you're a phoney! Shame on you.
Republican politicians are just evil. If they had 1 tenth of the heart and compassion of Jimmy Carter, the world would be a better place. However, they choose hate at every oportunity
He knew exactly what he was doing and had the apology ready if called out. His post is out there now being reposted and that was his intention all along.
This is what would apply to Trump when he leaves this earth.
...bottles of champagne will be opened (many, many, many bottles). The world is finally rid of a narcissistic despot, traitor, rapist, grifter. The worst president in the history of the U.S. He destroyed the US & the environment
Right, the only thing he is sorry about is that he got called out on his post. His feelings about President Carter remain the same, he just doesn't want to own them in public anymore
What fuk..Soper wasn't even alive when Jimmy Carter was President!!!!!
Seriously, what has happened to Colorado, that glorious state has sunk to a disgusting level..they keep voting these psychopaths into office.
Wake up, Colorado!
Apology NOT accepted. When you showed us whatta piece of scum you are, there's no going back. What have YOU done to match anything Jimmy Carter did?? Shameful CO (R) Rep Matthew Doper, er, Soper is heartless + stupid! URGH.
Soper is an example of the bottom feeders that have caused America to become an international laughingstock and why we won't be traveling internationally for our own protection.
This sort of thing just amazes and disappoints me. Lots of hate and judgement in his statement. I can't understand this from a person that was not even born when President Carter was in office.
Sure would be a shame if people flooded his offices with calls tomorrow asking the young staffers who are answering the phone why they choose to work for a man like this.
He is sorry that folks called him out for being a shitgibbon. If he is brave enough to write a post like that, imagine what he says in private. When someone tells you who they are, believe them,
On what planet is Jimmy Carter, a man who taught Sunday school at his home church until he was physically unable to do so, & ministered to the poor by building houses & ending diseases endemic to poverty, a despot?
Also was practically single handedly responsible for eradicating guinea worm. That mentality is projection on their hero Ronnie. All of our lives would be so much better if Mr Carter would have won a 2nd term. Even the bigots.
He’s not sorry. Republicans are vile and violent people who scream about their Christian values while behaving abhorrently. Actions speak louder than words.
Another dangerously stupid dipstick...
We need to remove all conservatives from every level of government...just to correct all of the damage they have done...
Sorry, but even at the risk of my new rep Beetlejuice Bobo calling for my arrest, this Coloradoan refuses to accept Rep Matty Soper's insincere apology.

He posted about civil war over a gun safety bill.
Who raises these people?
Me: Not sad watching him get his internet nuts smashed with an internet ball peen hammer.
Matthew 12:34
You brood of vipers, how can you who are evil say anything good? For the mouth speaks what the heart is full of.

More importantly, I hope your husband's surgery goes well. Best wishes to you both. I hope 2025 brings renewed health and happiness. 🙏
Maybe champaign has ivermectin added…
what in the hell is the orange felon?
Look, I'll celebrate the death of Trump. But I'll at least be able to be honest about what he really was while doing it. Calling Carter a despot is just ignorant as fuck.
MATTHEW
SOPER!
His apology is an empty, hollow, and epically failed attempt at saving face. We WONT forget this!😡🤬😡🤬😡🤬
FUCK
MATTHEW
SOPER!
Is he trying to challenge Boebert as the most ridiculous member of the Colorado delegation?
I’m sure he’s a fine Christian and all that… 🙄
(This one will be looking up at JC for all of eternity)

Delulu re: Jimmy Carter

This one seems as though he could be a good reflection of his constituents.
Seriously, what has happened to Colorado, that glorious state has sunk to a disgusting level..they keep voting these psychopaths into office.
Wake up, Colorado!
Seriously, I have seldom gotten as much instant online rage as when I said something positive about Carter to a Boomer with "Christian" in their bio.
We need to remove all conservatives from every level of government...just to correct all of the damage they have done...
Mr. Soper ought to know better, and should be aware that most of the humans in his district, at least the ones I interact with, are not of this ilk.
