In an interview with NPR’s Georgia affiliate on Wednesday, Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson accidentally referred to Texas Dem and 2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke as “Bevo”:

.@SenatorIsakson first calls Beto O'Rourke "Bevo" by accident and I literally laughed out loud. — Jessica Taylor (@JessicaTaylor) March 20, 2019

This is funny because “Bevo” is the name of the Texas Longhorns’ mascot:

Sen. Isakson just called Beto O'Rourke "Bevo" (that's the Texas mascot's name) and that's my favorite accidental mixup of his name. #gapol — stephen fowler | georgia politics reporter (@stphnfwlr) March 20, 2019

This is Bevo:

Who has 2️⃣ horns and is headed to @TexasBaseball ? LSU tomorrow? BEVO will be at UFCU Disch-Falk Field from 5:15pm-6:15pm! #HookEm? pic.twitter.com/G2WJFV7fd0 — Texas Longhorns (@TexasLonghorns) February 28, 2019

“Bevo, Beto whatever. The cow’s Bevo,” said the senator:

Maybe Sen. Isakson is still mad that Bevo tried to kill Uga, the University of Georgia’s mascot, at this year’s Sugar Bowl?

After the near disaster at the Sugar Bowl with Bevo and Uga, should live mascots be banned? ?? https://t.co/yMwNHSAlY7 pic.twitter.com/6OU6eFhADg — Tylt Sports (@tyltsports) March 16, 2019
