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

Oy vey.

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 BeyoncĆ©, she referred to Jay Z and Kanye Westā€™s 2012 video for ā€œNo Church in the Wild,ā€ which featured a Molotov cocktail.

Only Hughes didnā€™t say ā€œMolotov cocktail.ā€ She said ā€œmazel tov cocktail.ā€

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

Too late. The internet noticed.

Mazel tov, Scottie Nell Hughes, for providing voters with a moment of unintentional comic relief before we get down to voting on Tuesday.

And at least she can know she isnā€™t alone in mixing up Molotov and mazel tov. Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) was serving as a county executive when he wrote ā€œThank you again and Molotovā€ to a constituent who requested a courthouse menorah display.
