That was not a slip of the tongue. That was clearly insanity.
Who in his right mind would even misspeak like that? It’s like saying the Gulf of Mexico is in India. That is so obvious in one’s mind.

Yet another lefty pundit who calls himself a “journalist”. Wonder if he can answer who’s buried in Grant’s tomb - LOL

Except for the brief period of British rule, Egypt has been on a downward slide since the Moslem conquest.

I double-dog dare Saturday Night Live to have a skit with Matthews saying “I can see the Panama Canal from my 16th floor pyramid balcony.”
