If a conservative person confused two African-American politicians, the conservative person would be called a racist.

When Congressman Elijah Cummings of Maryland passed away last year, a lot of media outlets were confusing him with Congressman John Lewis.

It is incredible that his Tim Scott mistaken identity gaffe was the second most embarrassing thing that happened to him this week.

He jumped the shark and did some backflips in the air with that gaffe.

Jump the shark may be replaced by pulled a Chris Matthews. I'm gonna miss this guy. He was a real life Ted Baxter.

Yeah, probably not. I personally had no idea where he was on the spectrum until this comment. When I saw his gaffe on twitter I said whatever and kept scrolling. It is not "racist" to get people mixed up. That's just starting a problem where there isn't one.

Not to defnd Matthews, whom I was not a fan of, but he confused Tim Scott with Jamie Harrison whom he has interviewed here lately I believe as Harrison is running against Lindsey Graham. Meanwhile, I sometimes call my kids by each other's name

You are missing why it was a gaffe.

Why would Harrison be hanging out at a rally for the rival party's president with his future opponent Linday Graham.

And how could he be simultaneously at the rally with Graham and giving an interview to Matthews. The clip of the rally was live. The article points that out.
