(KGTV) - Did HUD Secretary Ben Carson confuse the term REO with Oreo?
Yes.
At a hearing on Tuesday, California Rep. Katie Porter asked Carson about disparities in REO rates.
REO stands for "real estate owned", a term for when a property goes into foreclosure.
But Carson mistook if for an Oreo before being corrected.
He later tweeted a picture of himself sending Porter a pack of Double Stuf Oreos.
