Filling in for Chris Mathews on MSNBC’s Hardball Friday, Joy Reid bungled the reading of a President Trump tweet announcing Reince Priebus is no longer his chief of staff.

Reid read Trump’s tweet announcing his new chief as Secretary of Homeland Security General John Kelly.

The fill-in host breezed through the first 12 words of the tweet, but tripped on unlucky No. 13.

WATCH:

“I am pleased to inform you that I have just named General secret … General secret … a-r-y John F. Kelly … ” Reid read, quoting the tweet.

She was then able to correct the mistake.

“General secretary, sorry, John F. Kelly as the new Chief of Staff … ” she said.
