I hesitate to post this because of whom it could be seen to be defending, but I’ve apparently been mispronouncing her name since I learned who she was. I’d only read it, never heard it. It was only when I discussed her out loud with my wife that I learned my pronunciation was incorrect. I don’t think I’m racist, I just didn’t know.
That’s not what Republicans are guilty of, however. They’re racist shitbags and know full-well that they’re mispronouncing her name. That do it on purpose because they’re racist shitbags. There is no other explanation, and there is certainly no excuse.
My thought was mainly: if you hear someone mispronouncing her name, don’t automatically assume the worst of that person, obviously taking context into account.
I appreciate your understanding.

They keep mispronouncing her her name because they are a bunch of racist pieces of shit.
It’s not rocket surgery to figure this out.

People can make honest and innocent mistakes.

Your take makes sense to me.

I have mispronounced her name on occasion. Mistakes happen.
But what the GOP is doing is no mistake. It’s intentional racism. Never doubt that.
Those Pesky ‘Read It, Never Said It’ Words Are The Epitome Of Chaos
You made an honest mistake. It happens.
