A tweet from Rudy Giuliani, personal attorney to President Donald Trump, went viral late Monday for the wrong reason ― after he misspelled the name of the late al Qaeda leader, Osama bin Laden.

Giuliani wrote “Ben Laden” instead of “bin Laden” in this post:

For Washington Post reporter John Hudson, it brought to mind one particular scene from Larry David’s comedy series “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”

“Top Chef” host Padma Lakshmi noted Giuliani was the mayor of New York during the 9/11 terror attacks orchestrated by bin Laden, who was killed by U.S. forces in 2011.

Others mocked Giuliani for the gaffe, which came just days after he butt-dialed an investigative reporter for the second time in just three weeks.
