Sarah Silverman, the comedian and outspoken Trump hater, made an embarrassing blunder on Sunday when she apparently mistook a set of sidewalk utility markings for swastikas.

Twitter hilariously mocked Silverman for the screw up.

Last year, Silverman dressed as Adolf Hitler to make fun of Trump during an appearance on Conan O’Brien’s talk show. And last week, Silverman posted a tweet expressing support for a military overthrow of Trump.

Silverman’s mistake is reminiscent of the time Huffington Post reporter Ryan Reilly mistook a set of ear plugs for rubber bullets. Reilly tweeted a picture of what he believed were three bright orange rubber bullets while covering riots in Ferguson, Missouri in 2014.
