1. The idiot doesn't like Cassidy's (R) question, either. Nt

2. He also mangled the name of Rep. Ayanna Pressley, pronouncing it "Anya."

Anyone else seeing a pattern here?

3. I suspect that Van der Veen's chances of learning to pronounce the VP's name

are about the same as your average Republicans' chances of learning to properly use Democrat vs. Democratic.

6. I was just going to say the same thing.

It's the inevitable downside of referring to the republicans as the stupid, disrespectful people they are: it gives them permission to act like stupid, disrespectful people.

4. He's doing it on purpose

5. Agree. n/t

11. Of course he's doing it on purpose.

7. I'm sure he knows how it's pronounced

But if he's really having trouble with it, he could just call her "Vice President."

8. That is deliberate. It's a wink and a nod to Chump.

9. it's deliberate, he is pointing out to trumpers she is 'The Other'

a not very subtle racist misogynous call out

10. Pure racism. /nt
