Mitt Romney Mispronounced 'Sikh' Earlier Today

Taylor Berman · 08/07/12 08:08PM

Mitt Romney got a bit confused earlier today over the pronunciation of "Sikh" while discussing the recent tragedy in Wisconsin. According to the Associated Press, instead of correctly prouncing Sikh like "seek," he instead said "sheek" or "sheik," which is another name for an Arab leader. While confusing Arabs with Sikhs is perhaps not uncommon for some of Romney's supporters, it seems fair to say that this was probably an honest mistake; his people were quick to point out that the Republican presidential nominee prounounced "Sikh" correctly earlier in the week. But still, man, get it together, Mitt.
