The media ridiculed President Trump on Twitter Friday after he mistakenly called former Democratic National Committee chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz, “Wendy,” in a tweet.
The tweet came in response to the DNC filing a lawsuit against his campaign, Russia, and WikiLeaks for allegedly colluding to tilt the election in favor of Trump.
“Just heard the Campaign was sued by the Obstructionist Democrats. This can be good news in that we will now counter for the DNC Server that they refused to give to the FBI, the Wendy Wasserman Schultz Servers and Documents held by the Pakistani mystery man and Clinton Emails,” Trump tweeted.
“I don’t think Wendy Wasserman Schultz is a real person.” MSNBC’s Kyle Griffin said.

His mocking tone was echoed by other journalists.
“Is Wendy Wasserman Schultz” some kind of nickname joke I’m not getting or…just a mistake? https://t.co/IjdVTXG0o4

the final insult to Debbie Wasserman Schultz is Trump getting her name wrong https://t.co/lOHvSH0w4f

is there anything more 80s New York than confusing Wendy Wasserstein with Debbie Wasserman Schultz https://t.co/7MAZO0FEiU

Trump later deleted that tweet and replaced it with the correct name.
