Happy Kwanzaa, or as CNN Says, Also Spelled ‘Kwanzaa’: Holiday Tweet Misfires But Gets Loads of Laughs

Share

Today begins the holiday of Kwanzaa. Or, as CNN tweeted this morning, it is sometimes spelled ‘Kwanzaa.’ I know, I read it three times thinking I was missing something. To their credit, CNN hasn’t taken down this tweet or changed it. The responses are hilarious. This is CNN, or as it’s sometimes spelled, CNN. Listen, Fox News doesn’t spell Kwanzaa or even acknowledge it, so there’s that.
