US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene recently became the subject of viral Twitter jokes after confusing “Gazpacho” with “Gestapo” while speaking about police patrolling at The Capitol in Washington D.C.
During an interview on the Real America with Dan Ball podcast, the politician shared her conspiracy theories about Speaker Nancy Pelosi allegedly spying on Congress:
“Not only do we have the DC jail which is the DC gulag, but now we have Nancy Pelosi’s gazpacho police spying on members of Congress, spying on the legislative work that we do, spying on our staff and spying on American citizens.”
The remark immediately went viral online as people pointed out that Greene confused Gestapo with Gazpacho.
While Gestapo is the term used to define the secret police organization of Nazi Germany, Gazpacho is a popular cold soup made of blended tomato and raw vegetables.
The mistake created a wave of laughter in the online community, with many taking to social media to respond to the situation with hilarious memes.
