(WASHINGTON, D.C.) -- A two-letter typo in a GOP bill in which the word "employment" mistakenly appeared instead of "unemployment" has sparked the latest back and forth between Republicans and Democrats.
North Carolina Republican Rep. Virginia Foxx brought a bill to the House floor to correct a typo in a previous bill. She fired back after Democrats jumped on the second mistake as a sign of "haste" by Republicans.
"Our time is very precious. Don't waste it by playing gotcha games," said Foxx. "Yes, we made a mistake. Yes, a second mistake was made. We acknowledge that. We accept it."
