That time the secret service cut a few corners on background checks and accidentally allowed a convicted sex offender to meet First Lady Rosalyn Carter, which only got worse when not long after they found out he was the most prolific serial killer in US history up to that point. Yup, they let John Wayne Gacy get THIS close!

Remembering Rosalynn Carter 1927-2023
Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter has died at 96. She was married to Jimmy Carter, the 39th President of the United States of America from 1977 to 1981. She was an advocate for a number of causes including being a mental health advocate.
I highly recommend checking out the documentary films Jimmy Carter Man from Plains from Jonathan Demme and Jimmy Carter: Rock & Roll President, both of which featured Rosalynn. Within pop culture, Rosalynn didn't get the same kind of attention that Jimmy got, but she was portrayed by Laraine Newman on SNL in the 70s.

Rosalynn was married to the nation’s 39th president, Jimmy Carter, for 77 years, and served as the first lady during his tenure from 1977 to 1981. She is survived by their four children and numerous grandchildren and great-children. Jimmy, who terminated medical intervention in February amid his own health challenges at the age of 99, remains in hospice care at home.

Former first lady Rosalynn Carter, the wife of former President Jimmy Carter and a devoted advocate for mental health, died peacefully at home Sunday, the Carter Center announced. She was 96.
(...) As the first lady of Georgia, Rosalynn Carter took on the duties of managing the operations and gardens of the governor's mansion. She also became a member of the Governor's Commission to Improve Services to the Mentally and Emotionally Handicapped, as well as the honorary chair of the Georgia Special Olympics.
Jimmy Carter announced his bid for the presidency in December 1974 as his term as governor of Georgia was ending. Despite being a relative unknown, he defeated incumbent Gerald Ford to win the 1976 presidential election. Not content to play the traditional first lady role, Rosalynn routinely asked her husband about his decision-making process – to the point that he invited her to attend Cabinet meetings, according to PBS' "American Experience" documentary.
"The first year Jimmy was in office, I became so frustrated. Every night, Jimmy would get off the elevator at the White House and I would say, 'Why did you do this?' or 'Why did you do something?'" she recalled. "And one day he finally said, 'Why don't you come to Cabinet meetings? Then you'll know why we do these things.' So I started going. It was always on my calendar. And I just listened. I didn't participate. But I listened. And then I knew why the decisions were made."
Additionally, she routinely sat in on National Security Council meetings that had traditionally been reserved for only the president and senior staffers.
As first lady, Rosalynn Carter also made trips to the Caribbean, as well as Central and South America, and learned to converse in Spanish. The high-profile meetings placed her front and center in heated discussions about human rights, demilitarization and narcotics.
Rosalynn Carter was also an influential force when her husband brokered the peace talks between Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin and Egyptian President Anwar Sadat that resulted in the landmark Camp David Accords in 1978, which in turn led to the Egypt-Israel Peace Treaty the following year.

*A mix of hatred and fear?? Fuck that shit man Brendan is gonna rush in to hug this dumbass.*
Dude, you're back!! Haha, I knew you weren't gone for good!!
The door being ripped open, Pearce would have fell onto the floor, if it weren't for the embrace he was strapped into. Feeling anxious, Pearce couldn't stop himself.
"I'm s-sorry..."
It was quiet, but Pearce started to sob, clinging tightly to the avatar. For a man nearing his 30's, it as pathetic to see him weep like this. He only kept apologizing, trying to mend what he thought was broken.
"I'm sorry... I'm sorry... I-I don't know what happened... h-honest! D-Did I hurt you!? What about Rosalynn? A-Archer? Anyone?!"
It was unintentional, but the Shepherd was digging his nails into the other's arms, almost as if he was afraid to let go. He never wanted to experience such a nightmare again.
"I-I'm sorry... I-I know I caused so many problems... a-and I hid s-secrets from you all... Mmmh... I-I won't cause such u-unwarranted sides of me again... pl-please don't leave me alone..."
