Someone at The New York Times’ affiliate, First Draft, made conservatives’ day Thursday after mistakenly tweeting about President Obama’s expected “resignation.”
The tweet was intended to report on President Obama’s announcement of Attorney General Eric Holder’s resignation. But for a split second, the gaffe warmed the hearts of conservatives everywhere, The Blaze reported.
But alas, it was too good to be true. The New York Times quickly deleted the tweet, replacing it with this correction:
Twitter users lit up over the error:
@nytpolitics Damn it, you almost made my day. #ObamaResigns
