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.
