Sen. Marco Rubio apologized for a spelling error he made while attempting to dispel internet rumors that martial law was being implemented nationwide amid the coronavirus outbreak.

“Please stop spreading stupid rumors about marshall law. COMPLETELY FALSE,” the Florida Republican said Monday morning on Twitter. “We will continue to see closings & restrictions on hours of non-essential businesses in certain cities & states. But that is NOT marshall law.”
