First Lady Jill Biden is facing backlash for a controversial comment made while giving a speech to the nation’s largest Latino civil rights group. The First Lady said that the diversity of the Latino community was “as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio.” Her comment faced much scrutiny on social media and she later apologized for it. Biden’s spokesperson tweeted, “The First Lady apologizes that her words conveyed anything but pure admiration and love for the Latino community.”

Jill didn't apologize, her press secretary wrote a statement
How many Morons can the White House hold ? The Biden s are an Utter Disgrace 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Yes, the current elected resident of white house is as unique as messed up sloppy Joe.
So, it's ok to be racist if you're a democrat. Si se pwadway!!!! And no, she did not apologize. Show me a video of Jill apologizing. Someone's apologizing for her doesn't count. You're just another fake news.
Not even a Biden Fan but what was so bad about this? I would Love to be Unique like a breakfast taco lol She didn't say people here in san antonio are breakfast tacos?
Also the breakfast Tacos started in texas so it is unique to that area like "bogedas" in the bronx
…… why do people have a victim mentality… like your not a taco she didn't call you tacos get over it. lol pretty sure your friends call you worse stuff at home.
🤡
I don’t see what the big deal is, they put democrats before their God. She can call them whatever she wants.
Democrats Are Racist the party of the KKK.
This is called crystalline memory processing and it is utilized as a baseline . In other words , Biden believes the Raza is comparable to yup , a taco .
LATINX; ANOTHER RACIAL SLUR FOR HISPANICS….
Trash.
I don't rly care about being compared to a taco. Yeah it stupid but I expect liberals to be gringos. It's the latinx slur that would make me rearrange your teeth. Just to let you know.
She didn’t apologize she had someone do it for her. Jill is a racist.
What’s the big deal Mexican eats 🌮
Wonder if Joe knows that Jill might have been doing a Monica with Newsome in the Whitehouse while he was away…lol
Sure, like other politicians, they apologize and was misunderstood. An excuse!
Now that's extreme left wing racist hate
This confirms my theory that Democrats are the true racists.
What more can one expect from the mindset of a Nazi country as well as the majority of its people . . . These trits are no better than the trash from the last four years . . .
Out of touch…. she needs to watch Lester Holt and get an idea of real life america.
no les basta con irrumpir en nuestros países sino que ahora nos tratan como comida..
Clearly she’s not on the block
At least she didn't steal her support an insurrection or wear a disgusting coat "I don't care, do you" when dealing for with immigrants children.
As a white male is it ok if I celebrate my diversity?
I’d expect nothing less from someone who got a doctorate in education leadership 🤣 most would have trouble even naming a more useless Dr
It’s even more insulting bc breakfast tacos are an AMERICAN invention, compliments of San Antonio Texas.
Americans are supposed to have a very expensive first world education…but not even the first lady knows that in the south of the United States, not only is Mexico, there are at least 19 other Latin American countries…and each one has its own traditional food, like Arepas, if the Biden administration cannot locate a huge country like Argentina on a map, the day they try to attack the Russian military base in Kaliningrad, their missiles will end up hitting Poland or Lithuania .🤣🤣🤣
"Stupid is as stupid does-Forrest Gump
Jill Biden is really getting old looking! And that bird beak nose of hers enters a room 2 minutes befoe the the rest og her.
She didn't apologize she had someone else do it for her.
I'm sure glad that she didn't do the old adage complimenting them on their Phone Service being provided by their Biggest Phone Company and the Oldest one, The TACO BELL…
Then why try to pigeonhole every human being in the United States oh they're Germans they're Mexicans they're English they're Irish what happened to the term Americans Texas is not a taco. My brothers and sisters aren't tacos. My neighbors aren't tacos. They're my neighbors what is wrong with y'all Rich elite people in Washington DC quit pigeon holding us
Firat mistake, appearing to a "Latinx" event, in which many Latinos and Hispanics despise the destruction of the Latin language. Then her own speech was bigoted. Latinos and Hispanics have different cultures, traditions, and dialects. She can not compare a Hispanic from Spain with Mexican, due to two different based native cultures and even differencesin food. That is no different comparing a Anglo-Saxon with a Caucasian; physical characteristics maybe some what the same but two different regions of ancestry.
Alice Cooper dyed his hair blond and married Joe Biden? I did not know that.
Wake up the racists are occupying the white house prove me wrong.
"DOCTOR"
What's wrong with her comments that is new or shocking?
Racist,she did not apologize her aide did ,rich and sophisticated slobs!
Generally speaking: Biden has 17% approval, 70% disapproval among hispanics as of 27 July 2022.
"If you vote for anybody else, you don't live in a bodega!"
The USA is being commanded by the 'babysitter'…!
Too late Jilly. Your husband is rubbing off on you. Birds of a feather flock together!
At least she is sorry she is a Racist, she is reading those lines and knew exactly what she is saying.
And she is suppose to be an educator! Lol
