[Ads-l] "single handily" - eggcorn?

[Nancy Friedman]

In a spectacularly backfiring tweet from US House of Representatives
candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene (Q-GA) purporting to insult Rep.
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez:

As a blonde woman, I would like to take a moment to thank Congresswoman
@AOC <https://twitter.com/AOC>
. She has single handily put an end to all “dumb blonde” jokes. Blondes
everywhere appreciate your service and your sacrifice!
