This wasn't a "gottcha" moment like when Perry forgot the DOE in front of a large audience, under hot cameras in front of millions of views or when Obama mispoke on the # of states. A gottcha moment is when Backman thinks Concord NH is Concord MA.

This was a flippant response in the face of the FBI arresting four of his police
officers for beating and harassing Latino residents in his town.

He was just put into office a few weeks ago. He was mayor like 2 years ago when the investigation started. It has been a major issue in the town since then. He lost the prior election and the new mayor suspended the chief. When he was just re-elected, one of the 1st. things he did was reinstate the chief. Everyone viewed it as thumbing his nose at the FBI and the Latinos.
