In an interview with NPR’s Georgia affiliate on Wednesday, Georgia Republican Sen. Johnny Isakson accidentally referred to Texas Dem and 2020 presidential candidate Beto O’Rourke as “Bevo”:
.@SenatorIsakson first calls Beto O'Rourke "Bevo" by accident and I literally laughed out loud.

This is funny because “Bevo” is the name of the Texas Longhorns’ mascot:
Sen. Isakson just called Beto O'Rourke "Bevo" (that's the Texas mascot's name) and that's my favorite accidental mixup of his name. #gapol

This is Bevo:
Who has 2️⃣ horns and is headed to @TexasBaseball ? LSU tomorrow?

“Bevo, Beto whatever. The cow’s Bevo,” said the senator:

Maybe Sen. Isakson is still mad that Bevo tried to kill Uga, the University of Georgia’s mascot, at this year’s Sugar Bowl?
After the near disaster at the Sugar Bowl with Bevo and Uga, should live mascots be banned? ?? https://t.co/yMwNHSAlY7 pic.twitter.com/6OU6eFhADg
