It’s bad enough that former Florida Representative Matt Gaetz is still smarting after his disturbing OANN TV debut last night, but now he’s being dragged on X for a silly spelling error. Heck, even the Community Notes gang weighed-in on his terrible typo! Poor Gaetz, doesn’t know the difference between ‘Martial’ and ‘Marshall.’

This guy was recently President-Elect Donald Trump’s pick for U.S. Attorney General, you’d think he’d know the right word to use. That’s what commenters are saying.

Posters immediately started having fun at Gaetz’s expense.
My cousin Brad the workers comp attorney attended John Marshall law school in Atlanta and graduated in the top 85% of his class, so he knows all about Marshall Law

As a well known Marshall of the Untied States (US Marshall for short) I can confirm Cousin Brad is such an expert they consider him a Field Marshall at many HS football games.

Some even threw in some funny references to Eminem aka Marshall Mathers.
I can’t believe Americans have a law named after Marshall Mathers.
What a nation x

No, “Marshall Law” was that TV series Andy Griffith starred in—you know, Joe Biden’s favorite show?

Wow, a Supreme Court Justice Thurgood Marshall reference. Wasn’t expecting that deep dive!
Heck, even Marvin the Martian and a popular department store got a mention by meme-makers.
No, I’m pretty sure it’s “Martian law.” pic.twitter.com/10B0PhFKDx

Too funny! Matt Gaetz resigned from the House after Trump picked him for his Attorney General. When that fell through, Gaetz ended up on OANN where he now hosts The Matt Gaetz Show five nights a week.
