Chuck Schumer accidentally made a NSFW flub — mixing up the words "insurrection" and "erection" — when announcing impeachment plans against former president Donald Trump, and Twitter is roasting him over it. While speaking on the Senate floor, the new House Majority Leader addressed the impeachment with his fellow congressmen and congresswoman, saying, "Make no mistake, there will be a trial, and when that trial ends senators will have to decide if they believe Donald John Trump incited the erection...."

At this point, the Democrat corrected himself and said, "...insurrection, against the United States." He shook his head and widened his eyes as he realized that he'd said "erection" rather than "insurrection," the word he clearly intended to use. Schumer also spoke about former Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell requesting that filibusters be protected in the new 50-50 Senate, which falls to the control of the democrats by way of newly sworn-in Vice President Kamala Harris being given the deciding vote on any ties. He made it clear this request will not be "accepted." However, it's Schumer's slip of the tongue that has everyone talking. Scroll down to see what Twitter users are saying.

"2021 is starting with some decent humor! Who had 'Donald John Trump trending with Erection Schumer' on their bingo cards?" one user tweeted.

"A couple minutes ago on the floor...Schumer literally just said that the Senate will have to decide if Trump incited the erection on the Capitol. What a boner by Chuck," another cracked.

"Chuck Schumer mistakenly said that Donald Trump incited an erection. Have you seen how excited those Proud Boys get when talking about Trump? Maybe Chuck isn't wrong!" someone else said.

"Sen. Schumer said the word erection instead of the word insurrection on the Senate floor. I don't want to see either on the Senate floor," another wrote.

"If your insurrection lasts more than four hours, call a doctor," one wisecracker tweeted.

"So according to Schumer, Donald John Trump incited the 'erection' at the Capitol. Looks like the little blue pill done turned red!" someone else chimed in.

"Love that the biggest thing to happen today is that Chuck Schumer accidentally said 'erection' on the Senate floor. What great times we live in," another wrote.
