They’re calling this the gaffe of the year…
Rep. Steve Cohen (D-TN) told reporters this week:
“Eli and Peyton DON’T DO sexual assault against people … other than their wives.”
TMZ reported:
Tennessee Congressman Steve Cohen made one of the all-time blunders yesterday when asked about a sexual assault case involving a Tennessee Titans football player.
The 65-year-old politician explained that he’s not really a big football guy … but keeps up with Peyton and Eli Manning … and knows the following thing to be 100% true:
“Eli and Peyton DON’T DO sexual assault against people … other than their wives.”
(apply palm to forehead now)
Even more shocking, the congressman didn’t seem to realize his gaffe … and moved on to the next topic without correcting himself.
