Mazel Tov! Gov. Scott Walker confuses Hebrew phrase with Molotov

  • 7 years ago
Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker made a hilarious blunder in an undated letter to a Jewish constituent, Madison.com reports. In response to the man's letter asking him to display a Menorah at the Milwaukee County Courthouse in honor of Hanukkah, the Republican thanked him and agreed to the request, but ended his response with "Molotov," not Mazel Tov, the Hebrew phrase for good luck. Funny enough, the phrase isn't even typically used on Hanukkah. A Moltov, or Molotov Cocktail, is in essence a homemade grenade.
