Student reporter accidentally calls Hillary, ‘Monica,’ gets booted out of event

Saying the wrong name during sex could get someone kicked out of the bedroom; mistaking Hillary Clinton’s name with a woman who had an affair with her husband will get you kicked out of a press conference.

Elise Goodvin, the editor for her student newspaper at Iowa City High School, accidentally called the Democratic front-runner “Monica” at a press conference and was told to leave.

The editor wrote in the The Tab how excited she was that her small school paper was invited to cover a major political event in Monticello, Iowa. During the rally, the teenager was impressed to be standing next to reporters from the New York Times and a woman from MSNBC named Monica.

They made polite conversation before the rally, but when Clinton came to greet the press it became chaotic and Goodvin claimed that the Democratic front-runner’s press person went missing.

The teen saw a hand reaching out to shake hers, she assumed it was the woman from MSNBC. Goodvin reached out and said, “it’s nice meeting you Monica.”
