HuffPost
Rep. Tom Emmer went down for the count on social media after his nearly NSFW flub at a National Republican Congressional Committee dinner.
Rep. Tom Emmer (R-Minn.) almost made a gaffe for the ages on Tuesday as he nearly referred to President Donald Trump by a vulgar word in remarks at a National Republican Congressional Committee dinner.
“President cun — President Donald Trump is counting on us,” said the House majority whip to the Washington, D.C., crowd.
Emmer’s remarks to the attendees, who paid up to $310,000 to attend the dinner, arrived in the lead-up to Trump’s speech later in the evening.
Prior to his nearly NSFW flub, Emmer stumbled as he loudly greeted the GOP guests.
“Hello, fellow Republicans! No, hello febr — feh— fellow Republicans, where are ya?” Emmer shouted.
