When English is your only language and you can't even get that right, maybe who's running for mayor shouldn't be your biggest concern. Try mastering your ABCs first and then we can move beyond sesame street level issues.

I get what you are saying but my parents also mispronounced his name like 6 times in a row and Arabic is their native language

Did they read of his name from Arabic script or Latin alphabet (English)? Or did they just hear it and tried to pronounce as it sounded to their ears
