US presidential contender calls Obama's daughter 'Malala'

This is not the first time Jeb Bush has mispronounced Obama's daughter Malia's name

Republican Presidential contender Jeb Bush doesn’t seem to know the difference between Obama’s daughter and Nobel peace prize winner “Malala”.

Bush pronounced Obama’s daughter name as Malala while speaking at the Council of Foreign Relations on Wednesday.

“And every meeting I had in Beijing started out lambasting me why it was, as an American, why it was that we insulted China. And I’m thinking, you know what, it could be that Mrs Obama was worried about the science project of Malala,” he said.

There is a slim chance the US first lady was worried about Malala Yousafzai's project. However, she could have been concerned about her daughter Malia.

This was not the first time Bush called Obama’s daughter Malala. It has happened before too as revealed by an ABC News reporter.

Jeb, while telling an anecdote about FLOTUS, invokes her daughter, calling her "Malayla."
