Venezuelan president did a major blunder while delivering a speech at the Miranda Stadium when he said 'Multiply ourselves, like Christ multiplied the penises'.
Nicolas Maduro was apparently reading the iconic biblical anecdote in Spanish which is written as 'Cristo multiplico los peces y los panes' and the Spanish word for penises- 'penes' is just a letter away.
However, the president immediately realized his grave error, corrected himself and apologized for using the wrong expression and said that how Christ multiplied the fish and loaves, art should be multiplied, Huffington Post reports.
