Gutless pub senator apologizes for tweet calling Pelosi 'retarded,' blames autocorrect
[The Hill] Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) has apologized for a since-deleted tweet that was sent from his official account earlier this week that called House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) "retarded," blaming his phone’s auto-correct for the mishap.Cramer is referring to a tweet that was sent out from his verified account on Tuesday night that read: "She’s retarded." The reply came in response to a tweet posted by the Daily Caller that shows footage of remarks Pelosi made about coronavirus stimulus legislation that lawmakers were working to get passed earlier this week. According to the Grand Forks Herald, which captured a screenshot of Cramer’s post, the tweet had been removed from the senator’s account roughly 10 minutes after it was first posted. The North Dakotan told the Forum News Service, under which the Herald operates, that he had initially intended to write, "She’s ridiculous." But he said his phone auto-corrected the text instead.
