Jill Biden, the first lady, had to retract and apologize in a humiliating act.
This comes after she was able to nickname Latinos and Hispanic Americans tacos and throw a triple insult on them.
Republicans from throughout the country leaped at the chance to create clever T-shirts with current political jokes.
Jill Biden angered Latino Americans in three distinct ways on Monday when speaking at a luncheon to honor the Hispanic civil rights group UnidosUS.
Jill Biden just said Hispanics are as “unique” as tacos.

This isn’t Veep. Which White House speechwriter just won a bet for getting the First Lady to say something like this?pic.twitter.com/DXfJgYz0g5
First, despite the fact that the majority of Hispanics made it plain they detested the genderless, woke word, she agreed to name it a LatinX luncheon.
After that, Jill started comparing them to tacos, and for her third jab, she referred to the bodegas—small supermarkets in Hispanic neighborhoods—as “bogedas.”
The first lady received a barrage of criticism and jeers in response to the triple insult, with many Latino activists and journalists joking that they are not tacos.
Even though the error was too severe to be corrected, Jill Biden and her team sought to minimize the damage right away by backing down.
Her press secretary, Michael LaRosa, apologized on Twitter and stated that her statements, which compared Hispanics to tacos, were not intended to express love or appreciation for them.
LaRosa reportedly refrained from using the awakened Latinx demonym to prevent things from going worse.
Jill Biden’s Latinx-bogeda-tacos gaffe brings to mind an incident from the previous year in which she mistook a brief Spanish word. Instead of saying “Yes we can,” as she was meant to, she said “Yes we father.”
Meanwhile, Jill Biden’s error served as motivation for Republicans all throughout the US.
Capitalizing on that, they created a variety of T-shirts with political messages in an effort to win over more Hispanic voters and boost funding.
Woke Democrats think Hispanics are tacos. Unfortunately for them, we're voters.

In particular, the Republican National Committee leaped at the possibility to take advantage of the fresh chance to win over the Latino vote.
