Carter’s grandson, Jason, a candidate in Georgia’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, tweeted a picture of the first text exchange on Wednesday in which Jimmy Carter asked his grandson if he had seen him on the The Colbert Report on Tuesday night.

Carter then followed up with, “That was my first text msg.”
