In yet another verbal slip-up, White House counselor Kellyanne Conway referred to President Trump on Wednesday as the “commander of cheese” – and was promptly creamed in social media.

Conway appeared on CNN, where she was asked about the brouhaha following Trump’s disinviting the Super Bowl-winning Philadelphia Eagles to the White House.

Host John Berman asked her to comment about whether Trump had indeed been demanding that NFL players express their patriotism.

“The problem with the president of the United States, and the commander of cheese – chief – expressing that opinion is what?” Conway said.

Former Gov. Mike Huckabee (R-Ark) milked the flub on Twitter for all it’s worth.

“Was not a mistake on @KellyannePolls part. It’s Biblical. ‘Blessed are the Cheesemakers,’” wrote Huckabee, father of Trump mouthpiece Sarah Huckabee Sanders.

“It’s why evangelicals are supportive of @realDonaldTrump and you would know that if you knew the Bible AND Monty Python!” he added.

“Blessed are the Cheesemakers” is a line from the 1979 flick “Monty Python’s Life of Brian.”

“Twitter give Kellyanne Conway a break with #CommanderCheese ….It wasn’t referring to Trump..She’s still in mourning w/ 3 incidents,” @nathanplatt tweeted.

“Commander Cheese was tragically lost in the Bowling Green massacre after going there to avoid melting away in the Obama microwave spying scandal.”

In another memorable TV interview, Conway referred to two Iraqi refugees as the “masterminds” behind a nonexistent massacre in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
