So funny how the 'You're in America, speak English' crowd can't even pronounce Zohran's name even though it's literally pronounced like it's spelled (hexbear.net)

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.

Most people don't pronounce the /h/ and I guess some of them flip it with the /r/, so I don't think they actually are saying it the way that he does. Both of those are completely understandable changes to make based on English's syllable structure rules because /h/ is only allowed before vowels in English. So it's kind of a matter of deciding whether you delete the /h/ or keep it and put it in the wrong place if you're not used to hearing or saying it at the end of a syllable.
