White House deletes and reposts CBO video after spelling mistake
The White House deleted and reposted a video attacking the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) after the video featured an inaccurate spelling of the word “inaccurate”.
The video, accusing the CBO of using “faulty assumptions and bad numbers” to create scores for the House and Senate GOP ObamaCare repeal and replace bills, was initially tweeted out with a spelling error.{mosads}
“The CBO innaccurately estimated 25 million would be covered under ObamaCare,” the original video read.
The post was deleted about an hour later and replaced with one with a correct spelling of the word “inaccurately.”
Social media was quick to pick up on the error.

The White House attacks the CBO for being inaccurate without giving their own estimates and then manages to spell inaccurate wrong. Oof. pic.twitter.com/pV7bELR4YR

You should definitely trust us instead of the CBO to make extremely difficult economic forecasts. https://t.co/OXLVNIrIAU pic.twitter.com/Rq5w6Y57Tf
