Whoops!

The United States Navy celebrated its 244th birthday on Sunday, and while lawmakers on both sides of the aisle sent their well-wishes, one tweet from Congressman Brian Mast (R-FL) stood out for all the wrong reasons.

Mast tweeted his birthday wishes, but promptly deleted the tweet after Politico's Dave Brown noticed something was off.


Yup. The ship tweeted by Mast was actually a Russian battlecruiser Pyotr Velikiy, which still remains in active service.

Mast soon replaced the tweet, opting to simply retweet the U.S. Navy's official account instead.

Predictably, it was too late.

However, naval warfare journalist Chris Cavas soon assured that the gaffe is more common than some may think.

Awkward.

Turning Point USA founder and MAGA influencer Charlie Kirk was harshly criticized after he claimed the death toll in the flash floods that have devastated central Texas "would not have been as high if it wasn't for DEI," ridiculously suggesting that principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion were responsible.

Kirk's comments are reflective of President Donald Trump’s broader push to dismantle federal programs focused on diversity and inclusion—part of what he pledged in his inaugural address would be a campaign to stop attempts to “socially engineer race and gender into every aspect of public and private life.”
