Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene from Georgia became the talk of social media after a video surfaced of her mispronouncing the word “indictable,” turning it into an unintentional double entendre. The incident took place during a House Homeland Security Committee meeting where the potential impeachment of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas was being discussed in relation to his handling of the U.S.-Mexico border crisis.
In her statement, Greene said, “This historical evidence is overwhelming that the Founding Fathers intended impeachment to be used to deal with the commission of ‘in-dick-table’ crimes and the abuse of power.”
Social media users quickly caught on to the amusing mispronunciation, drawing comparisons to a previous incident where Greene displayed what seemed to be naked pictures of Hunter Biden during a House Oversight Committee meeting.
Some users playfully suggested that politicians should familiarize themselves with the correct pronunciation of legal terms before using them as political tools.

Isn’t an in-dick-ta-ble crime what Lauren Boebert does in theaters? https://t.co/HMpnYhT4zH

Maybe a person who can’t even read/pronounce indictable shouldn’t be allowed to use it as a political weapon? https://t.co/TEJG2YA3SN

This isn’t the first verbal slip-up for Greene, as she gained attention in February 2022 for accusing then-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi of involving the “Gazpacho Police.”
