“Don Johnson – was his first name Don?” Pelosi told reporters on Thursday. After being corrected, Pelosi jokingly replied, “Let me call him ‘Senator’, not ‘Miami Vice’ or anything like that.”

“Ron Johnson appears to be leading the way on how we protect our country from domestic terrorism,” she continued.

The reference led to the trending of the names of the “Miami Vice” and “Knives Out” stars on Twitter, with numerous users speculating that Pelosi’s misnamed Wisconsin senator was deliberately small. Among those who knew were Chris Redd of “Saturday Night Live,” who currently stars with Don Johnson on the sitcom “Kenan.”
