How does a campaign make a mistake like this?

From https://notarabic.com/

Edit: there seems to be some confusion about what is wrong with this, I guess we really need those Arabic lessons smh. See my comments or the link @MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net posted.

Perhaps it’s clever opposition strategy to make her seem more ~~woke~~ based than she actually is?

It's far more likely her team is very white and they didn't have anyone on staff who cared about getting it right let alone have the ability to actually read and write Arabic.

You don't even have to speak/read/write Arabic to be able to tell if it looks like Arabic text or not. It takes just a few hours of observing it to move past the stage of "it's one of those scripts with the basic squiggles and dots around them" level of understanding.
