He was rather unpleasant in person - and a micro-manager to boot - just one example: he drove the entire Building Authority staff crazy when he was governor, because he *would* virtue-signal by turning down all the thermostats in the Capitol, even though they told him they were balanced and it would throw them all out of whack. Cost in manpower to fix what he broke was substantial.
More recently, every Jewish member of the Carter Center resigned en masse because of his anti-Semitism.
Wow, that sure paints a different picture of the man.
