Scottie Nell Hughes Called Molotov Cocktail A 'Mazel Tov Cocktail' On CNN

Trump Aide Called Molotov Cocktail A 'Mazel Tov Cocktail' On CNN
Twitter

Donald Trump surrogate Scottie Nell Hughes has done some memorable interviews during the presidential campaign, but a gaffe on CNN Sunday night may have been the topper.

While defending a Trump attack on Hillary Clinton supporters Jay Z and Beyoncé, she referred to Jay Z and Kanye West's 2012 video for "No Church in the Wild," which featured a Molotov cocktail.

Only Hughes didn't say "Molotov cocktail." She said "mazel tov cocktail."

Called out on her mistake by former HuffPoster Roy Sekoff, Hughes responded on Twitter, "trust me.. I realized at that moment, I should have taken a nap at some point the last 24hrs."

Too late. The internet noticed.
