Chelsea Clinton Accidentally Refers To Bernie Sanders As 'President'

Luckily, her mother's supporters laughed off the slip.

Chelsea Clinton handed her mom's political rival the title of U.S. president in an awkward slip of the tongue.

At a campaign stop in Minnesota on this past week, the daughter of Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton referred to rival Bernie Sanders as "President Sanders."

"We also need to strip away the immunity that President Sanders –– I'm sorry, excuse me. Senator Sanders. I hope not President Sanders," she said Wednesday.

Clinton was speaking about revoking immunity for gun manufacturers in criminal cases. She was referencing Sanders' vote against that type of action in the past.

Luckily, her mother's supporters laughed off the slip.

Watch the awkward moment above.
