CLEVELAND — As more Republicans officially endorse and support Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, his list of people to thank is growing.

Unfortunately, that list led to an error.

Trump intended to thank Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker for his support  in a tweet alongside an image of the governor in which he blames presumptive Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton for problems in government.

Trump tagged @ScottWalker6 to do so.

But @ScottWalker6 is not the governor. That Scott is a news anchor for WDSU in New Orleans. Trump deleted the tweet shortly after it went up, but luckily we got a screenshot.

Trump eventually sent the same tweet — sans image — tagging the correct Scott Walker, but the wrong Scott Walker already had a reply.

The anchor took it in stride and tweeted this:

Trump thanks Scott Walker for his support, only it was the wrong Scott Walker Twitter/ScottWalker6
