U.S. Rep. Eva Clayton is getting her tongue-twisted.
She started to call House Speaker Joe Hackney "senator" then corrected herself, but got his last name something closer to "Hackley."
Then she called the governor-elect "Everly" and corrected herself on that one too.
A little later, Clayton made amends for her earlier error in pronouncing the first gentleman's last name.
"I made an awful error. I didn't acknowledge the power behind the power — Bob Eaves," she said, pronouncing it correctly this time.
Then, she introduced Labor Commissioner Cherie Berry (pronounced "sha-ree") as "Cherry Berry" and Supreme Court Justice Patricia Timmons-Goodson as Patricia "Timmason" Goodson, Treasurer Janet Cowell as Janet "Caldwell" and featured singer Caitlin Cary as "Cathlin."
Finally, horror of horrors, she pronounced Andy Griffith's name as "Andy Griffin."




Re: Tongue twisters at the inauguration
It is scary to have people like Eva Clayton in power. The women is a proven idot.
