A typo or a Freudian slip? Whatever it was, new House Speaker Mike Johnson's first fundraising e-mail did not go according to plan.

Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) appeared to get his words mixed up in one of his first fundraising emails since taking the top House job last week.

Johnson capped a standard fundraising message Friday with a new turn on a familiar phrase: “I refuse to put people over politics.”

That apparent mix-up garnered jeers from House Democrats and their allies, eager to go after the new leader.

The unfortunate e-mail.

The reaction was as you'd expect.

And Maya Angelou with the wisdom more people should follow.
