Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-ND) told the Grand Forks Herald that his “fat fingers” are to blame for a tweet containing an offensive word sent out Tuesday night.
The North Dakota Republican tweeted “she’s retarded” from his official senatorial account in reply to a Twitter post from right-wing news outlet The Daily Caller about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s proposal for an economic stimulus package.
Cramer deleted the post and claimed he meant to write “she’s ridiculous,” but the auto-correct function on his phone changed what he had typed.
