(CNN)—Scott Walker's team had an issue with math Wednesday.

His account tweeted this afternoon celebrating the first time settlers made it to Jamestown in 1607 — however, his description in the tweet included bad math.

"It's hard to believe that it has been 505 years since the first settlers arrived at Jamestown," the tweet said.

If you do the math, it's been 408 years since the settlers arrived, not 505 years.

People were quick to notice.

1. Staffer error, I'm sure. It happens.

Scott Walker is much too busy busting unions, wrecking the Wisconsin supreme court, stealing food from poor people and sundry other missions from god
to make his own Tweets.

At least, I think so.

4. Well technically the statement is correct. It IS hard to believe a fact which is not a fact.

Poor Scotty. He tries so hard to be relevant.
