First lady Jill Biden offered an apology Tuesday morning for her comments about breakfast tacos in San Antonio.
Biden was in San Antonio to attend a Democratic fundraiser,. She spoke afterword at UnidosUS, a Latino civil rights and advocacy group.
She made the remark as she praised Raul Yzaguirre, a longtime leader of the group: “Raul helped build this organization with the understanding that the diversity of this community — as distinct as the bodegas of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio — is your strength.”
Republicans also mocked the term ‘Latinx’ title of the event — a term that is supposed to be inclusive of non-binary Latinos, and one which research has shown“If Jill Biden is going to compare Hispanic Americans to breakfast tacos, then she could at least use more inclusive language: It’s ‘TacX,’ Jill,”The Republican outrage over Biden’s remarks rang a little hollow.
Trump once posted photo of himself eating a taco bowl at his Las Vegas hotel and wrote “Happy #CincoDeMayo! The best taco bowls are made in Trump Tower Grill. I love Hispanics!” And he said of Mexican migrants crossing the border: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. ... They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.”
