One of the problems you have not when very smart people are out canvassing for votes is that they get things wrong. Sometimes they get things horribly wrong. And sometimes they get things hilariously wrong and we can laugh at MAGAts. This is one of those stories.

Let’s hope they’ve learned their lesson. Here’s some nuns the MAGAts definitely don’t want to cross:
