House speaker Nancy Pelosi wanted to wish Willie Mays a happy 90th birthday. She posted a picture of herself and Willie McCovey instead.
But say hey, at least McCovey played in the same era as the Mets legend Mays. After being raked across the social media coals for a quick minute, Pelosi reposted the tweet, finally with an actual picture of herself and Mays.
McCovey died in 2018 at the age of 80 years old. Mays turned 90 on Thursday.
“It’s unclear how long the mistake existed on the Speaker’s Twitter timeline,” the New York Post wrote. “Her office swiftly fobbed the issue off to a staffer error.”
It’s true. Eventually, Team Pelosi fessed up to the mistake, releasing a statement that was posted by KCBS radio.
“A staffer inadvertently selected the wrong photo for the tweet,” the statement read. “The photo we wanted to use was of the Speaker and Willie Mays at Willie McCovey’s August 2018 wedding. The quickly deleted photo was the wrong photo from the right wedding. We apologize for the error.”
I think the most frustrating thing about the Trump era for me was how much they called him stupid. Which he may be, but, 90% of these people are idiots. They acted like he was the first. And quite frankly I think he had far fewer true gaffes than Pelosi, Biden and a whole bunch of others.
The guy currently residing in 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue cannot even string his sentences correctly. And the drugged out SNL writers can’t bring themselves to write one single line mocking this dude. It’s pathetic
Trump is not dumb (not by a long shot) but he is not eloquent. Huge difference.
Is Pelosi saying they all look alike(Samuel L. Jackson -Laurence Fishburne part 2)??
This woman is just a pathetic human being in her 80s and still just as fake and phony as they come let me add in hateful and spiteful while I’m at it smfh
Not surprised. She is a Socialist Democrat that likes to pander to Black people to make you think she cares about Black people. This is the woman that thanked George Floyd for dying. Is anyone surprised?
To Nancy all black people look the same. Nothing to see here…….
You and Tim took the post right off my keyboard. Damn racist liberals think all people of color look the same and all black people are poor and in need of saving.
Rictus McBotox doesn’t know the first thing about baseball.
…and now some staffer gets shitcanned.
Hardly. Dims are never held accountable for errors.
When the President of the United States and the person who is #3 in line to the White House are incapable of understanding that the Sun rises in the East and the #2 person can’t decide which national border is the one where the trouble is, we’re screwed
Nope, folks, certainly not a stretch San Fran Nan one of many on her side of the aisle who thinks all the bruthas on her plantation look alike.
Typical progressives. Someone who spends their life worried about global warming killing polar bears, asking if seafood is sustainably produced at every restaurant, and getting excited about the release of the newest model of Prius, probably didn’t tune into Baseball Tonight much growing up.
They all look alike to the Dems.
