Have to remember they have this "never admit a mistake" mindset. When Trump mistakenly included a state in a vague "watch out for hurricane message", he double downed to the point of drawing a fake storm track in sharpie to claim he was really really right.
Every normal little flub that is perfectly understandable and forgettable they have to make so much worse by failing to let it go.
It's narcissism, their ego literally can't take admitting fault.
