Linda McMahon is an idiot. She doesn't know what the education acronym IDEA stands for, namely Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, and now she doesn't know what AI (Artificial Intelligence) stands for. As she answered questions from the bastion of dumbness, FOX news, she kept saying A1 instead of AI. Maybe she was hungry and thinking about the sauce. Maybe she was on cocaine. But to be so stupid as to not know AI from A1 is not a revelation: It has always been the GOP brand of illiterate morons.

The Way Trump's Education Secretary Pronounced "AI" Has People Absolutely Losing It

Linda McMahon, Donald Trump’s secretary of education, proved this week she needs to get educated about artificial intelligence.
Seriously.
The former professional wrestling promoter made her ignorance about AI public knowledge earlier this week when she spoke at the ASU+GSV Summit in San Diego on Tuesday.
During her appearance at the summit, McMahon stressed the potential positive impact artificial intelligence could have on educating the nation’s youth, but her message may not have been as effective as it could have been, thanks to one teensy-weensy, itty-bitty little mistake on her part.
Although AI is supposed to rhyme with “they lie,” McMahon repeatedly pronounced it as “A1,” which Gizmodo noted was “just like the steak sauce.”

The “A1” error was bizarre, considering that she did correctly refer to “AI development” moments before, Mediaite noted.
Still, McMahon’s error did provide some fodder for social media snark.

This isn’t the first time McMahon seemed unaware of the meaning of key acronyms.
Last month, she admitted during an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham that she didn’t know that IDEA stood for the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.This article originally appeared on HuffPost.
