Rosalynn Carter went from ‘shy’ to ‘someone who loved politics and loved it’

Former First Lady Rosalynn Carter died at the age of 96, just days after being admitted to hospice care at her home in Plains, Georgia. Judy Woodruff, Jonathan Alter and Anita McBride join Andrea Mitchell to discuss Carter’s legacy and her special relationship with her husband, former President Jimmy Carter. “She went from someone who was shy and didn’t like public speaking when he first ran for political office in the early 1960s, to someone who loved politics and loved it , who wanted to be at the center of every political fight that her husband was engaged in,” Woodruff says. “She was a woman who learned a lot about the field and it showed when you talked to her. She knew the details. She did her homework. She was researching and loved the political game. She loved it.” Subscribe to MSNBC: http://on.msnbc.com/SubscribeTomsnbc Follow the MSNBC Show MaddowBlog blogs: https ://www.msnbc.com/maddowblog ReidOut Blog: https://www.msnbc.com/reidoutblog MSNBC offers breaking news, in-depth analysis of political headlines, as well as insightful commentary and perspectives.
