(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."
