It was likely the spellcheck function on MTG’s computed/smartphone that took her probable misspelling of gestapo and made it gazpacho and she failed to notice. MTG probably never had a bowl of gazpacho in her life.

However, if the shoe fits…..

It’s good to have HCR in my in-box again. I was beginning to worry.

It's on video, not in a written statement. Hysterical.

I tried to give MTG an out.

“She couldn’t be that stupid,” thought I.

Well…..

That ought to teach MTG to proofread before she hits send, but she doesn’t strike me as a careful editor of her own words.

No doubt, your analysis is correct Ralph!

Well, Ralph, I just watched the video of Three Names spouting Gazpacho. Spellcheck for Speakers must not be turned on.

She actually said it out loud. See link posted by David Holzman.

Well, Ralph, it looks like she got the "g" right, and the "e", "a", "s" and "z" are all close together on my tiny, "smart" keyboard, so it might be easy to mix up those two vowels and consonants, but the "t" and "p" are pretty far away from each other and from the "c" and "h", so in my humble opinion and wearing my Sherlock Holmes double-billed cap, I think MTG probably doesn't know much about the Gestapo and even less about gazpacho and may even think that the spellcheck function corrects for faulty knowledge and is smarter than she is. Therefore, I find her GUILTY of treasonous ignorance and stupidity as charged. I say, "Lock her up".
