Marco Rubio mocked for misspelling "martial law" as "Marshall Law" and "correcting" it to "marital"

https://www.rawstory.com/2020/03/towering-nincompoop-marco-rubio-mocked-as-he-misspells-martial-law-for-the-second-time-in-a-day/

On Monday, Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) admonished people for speculating that the coronavirus pandemic could lead to “Marshall Law” in the United States — a typo for which he was roundly ridiculed.

Later in the afternoon, Rubio acknowledged his typo — even as he misspelled the word “martial” yet again:



Okay, first of all, using "Marshall Law" instead of "martial law" is not a typo, it is ignorant misuse.

No way is martial anywhere near Marshall.

Different keys, different words. I’ve seen it here too. Pathetic.

that's how low the current state of the GOP is, admitting a mistake is even surprising.
