“She’s r——-,” Cramer, 59, tweeted

He  deleted the publish about 10 minutes later, based on The Grand Forks Herald.

Cramer advised the paper he meant to write down “she’s ridiculous,” but he maintained his “fats fingers” and his telephone’s autocorrect perform have been responsible.

He stated his unique time period was “offensive because of its historic use toward individuals with disabilities” and stated he wouldn’t have used it intentionally.

“How typically do you employ the ‘r’ phrase that auto-correct replaced ridiculous with it?” one Twitter consumer asked the senator on Thursday.

“There isn't a attainable means auto-correct would turn ‘ridiculous’ into the ‘r’ word,” another consumer tweeted. “This is offensive within the deepest sense. You do not need to be representing America or its values.”
