Not only did Jill Biden offend the entire Latino community on Monday while giving a speech in San Antonia, when she compared Latinos to “breakfast tacos”, she then made matters worse by outsourcing her apology to her Press Secretary Michael LaRosa.
“The First Lady apologizes that her words conveyed anything but pure admiration and love for the Latino community,” LaRosa wrote the next morning after a media firestorm.
Republicans on social media were quick to call out LaRosa for having to do Jill’s dirty work as well as using the word “Latino” instead of “Latinx” as radical progressives have demanded we do in the past
To exasperate the absurdity of the situation further, Senator Ted Cruz had his communications adviser Steve Guest post the following apology to LaRosa, “I’m sorry Michael that they had you tweet this out today.”
Memes of Jill’s offensive comments surfaced on Tuesday poking fun at the first lady, highlighting just how ridiculous of a comment it was.
Jack Posobic, Senior Editor at HumanEvents.com, posted “Happy Taco Tuesday @FLOTUS on Twitter with a video that was altered to make fun of Jill Biden.
Mayra Flores, the first Mexican-born American to be elected to Congress, also put the first lady in her place when she responded to the insulting comment, “The Hispanic community is so much more and unique than breakfast tacos!!
Carolina Amesty, a Hispanic Republican running for the Florida House of Representatives, tweeted: “Everyone knows that not a single Hispanic uses ‘Latinx.’ The reason why woke corporations and Democrats keep imposing it on us is to control how we think about gender, and thus, how we vote. Unfortunately for them, we believe in God, Family, and Freedom — not MarXism.”
