Fans had a laugh over this simple mistake, as one user wrote on X, "Ladies and gentlemen the new Mayor of Philadelphia Cherelle L. Parker I'd like to see her spell Philadelphia."
A lot of others questioned her qualifications to hold office, as one guy said, "The mayor of Philadelphia does not know how to spell E-A-G-L-E-S... The MAYOR. How does she have that job?!"
All in all, despite all the jokes, Parker was able to poke fun at herself as she addressed her spelling blunder at a press conference Tuesday.
"We don't promise perfection, and I'm so happy that I never have, especially since I couldn't spell 'Eagles' right," Parker said.
