Kentucky senator accidentally drops husband-scolding F-bomb during Zoom committee meeting
FRANKFORT, Ky. — It is a recurring nightmare for many in the pandemic era — unintentionally having your computer unmuted during a remote work meeting and saying something extremely inappropriate or embarrassing.
