Beheading

The guy being interviewed on MSNBC couldn’t get the words out correctly about how we are doing as a “democracy.” He was making a good comment but when talking about the Trump Admin, he said beheading rather than behest.

Sorry......the former seemed pretty accurate rather than the later.

It’s not like ‘beheading’ is a word people use in everyday conversation.

That was not intentional, I don't think? It was a Freudian slip.

But so funny!

"...at Trump's beheading....uhh behest... I don't know why I said that..."
