MAGA Republican Governor Patrick Morrisey decided to hold a press conference at the Meadowbrook Mall in Bridgeport, West Virginia, to ask voters to support state income tax cuts.

But his message was derailed by a detail no one on the governor's team, including the man himself, noticed.

The online public noticed right away, however, and an unfortunate typo on a sign on the front of Morrisey's podium went viral.

That is not how Virginia is spelled, West or not.

And according to the X user who shared the photo, it was just one of several recent typos:

People found the typo inexcusable.

Some noted Morrisey's roots as a possible reason for him not catching the typo.

For his part, Morrisey at least acknowledged the error after it was brought to his attention, calling it "awful":

Born in Brooklyn in New York City, New York, Morrisey grew up in Edison, New Jersey. He moved to West Virginia in 2006 to work in Washington, D.C,. as a lawyer and lobbyist.

In 2012, Morrisey ran for Attorney General of West Virginia after previously unsuccessfully running for office in New Jersey. Morrisey served as the West Virginia AG from 2013 until 2025, when he was inaugurated as the state's governor.

Sean O’Leary, senior policy analyst for the West Virginia Center for Budget and Policy (WVCBP) noted the governor moved $117.4 million from Medicaid and Managed Care Organizations to cover his tax cuts.

The organization stated:

"State lawmakers have a responsibility to begin to grapple now with upcoming budget needs, particularly as the Morrisey Administration tries to strong arm them into more tax cuts that mostly benefit the state’s wealthiest households."

In other words, business as usual for the GOP.

After President Donald Trump claimed that his new White House ballroom is "very popular" with the American public, CNN shared a hilariously shady poll that gets to the truth of the matter.

Last year, Trump ordered the demolition of the entire East Wing to make way for a 90,000 square-foot ballroom that will dwarf the size of the White House itself, sparking alarm from historical preservationists and the public alike.

It's well-known across the internet that it takes forever for men to use the restroom. For dads especially, in the time it takes them to poop, when they return to the house, their kids will have aged seven years, and their baby will have learned to walk.

These are jokes, of course, but it's an internet consensus that men spend a really long time on the porcelain throne.

Antonia and Ashley were both suspicious that she did not trip accidentally and that Ashley's sister, Gemma, actually tripped her. Gemma and Antonia were not close, and the couple also believed that Gemma might be jealous that they were marrying after five months, though she'd been with her childhood sweetheart for 20 years without tying the knot.
