Minn. legislator mixes up Veterans Day and Memorial Day

Rep. Jim Abeler, a Republican, is a state Representative and candidate for U.S. Senate in Minnesota. Yesterday he (or whoever is running his account) confused Veterans Day with Memorial Day.

“@VoteBoals: @jimabeler
it's Memorial Day, Jim." good catch. Hope ALL your holidays are special. 🙂

It’s not the first time we’ve seen that mistake, and unfortunately it won’t be the last.
