She spelled it wrong on purpose. Apparently she wanted to look like a "deplorable" who is stupid...intentionally. Not sure why, but anyhow...she knew it was spelled wrong.

when he does something clumsy like falling from the windowsill. He saunters off as if to say "I meant to do that!"

This woman spelled a simple word wrong on purpose because she wanted to look stupid? Ooookaay.

Exactly this. I'm surprised one of the deplorables could think that quickly on her feet. The reporter should've asked her how to properly spell the other one. That would've been great!

I've observed that type of thinking among retired baby boomers in Ohio too, with other types of government spending perceived as a threat to their retirement benefits.

Some of them were probably hippies back in the 60's.

It's the pro-Vietnam war wingnuts from the 60’s who are now complaining about "government spending perceived as a threat to their retirement benefits."

And I'm speaking from experience.

Heard he dyed his hair and skin darker and moved to Mexico.

Great avatar, BTW.

This hardly surprises me, the dumbing down of the US is in full flight. That guy is stupid and totally unaware of it.
