"waded in on" for "weighed in on"

“President Obama has officially waded in on the controversy surrounding North Carolina’s new bathroom law.”

Triple A eggcorn, agaal. It’s been enjoyed previously here. See also way/wayed in and wage in on.

Re: "waded in on" for "weighed in on"

Welcome to the Forum, agaal!

I recommend doing this whenever considering posting here: Go to the second search field on the Eggcorn Database page, the one marked “Google Search”, and see if your proposed eggcorn (or other treat) has already been discussed. If so, you’ll probably want to add to an existing relevant thread rather than proliferating new threads for the same eggcorn. (It took me awhile to figure this out, so now I mention it to newbies as needed to facilitate their assimilation.)
