It was clearly a math mistake. Give it a rest.
He started to say he had been to all 50 states.
Then backed it off to ‘57’ because he had not been to x and y yet; and his handlers were not going to let him go to Hawaii.
So clearly he just did the math wrong in his head. He forgot to drop the 1 from the tens column when he subtracted 3 from 50.
It happens.
There was nothing ‘muslim’ in the context.
Odd mistake isn’t it, a guy whom the majority of Americans thinks is muslim before he is an American accidently gives out the number of muslim states instead of the number of American states.
What was it Rush said this week about Freudian slips? Accidently telling the truth?
