‘Personally, I’m A Chorizo, Egg & Cheese’: Republicans Drag Jill Biden For Comparing Hispanics To Tacos
After First Lady Jill Biden compared Hispanic Americans to breakfast tacos, Republicans mocked her with gusto.
Jill Biden had said of the Hispanic community at the 2022 UnidosUS Annual Conference in San Antonio, Texas, that they were as “distinct as the bogedas [sic] of the Bronx, as beautiful as the blossoms of Miami, and as unique as the breakfast tacos here in San Antonio.”
Republicans had a field day as they targeted Biden for her verbiage:
“Personally, I’m a chorizo, egg & cheese,” Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) chortled.

“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,” Rep. Dan Crenshaw (R-TX) pointed out.

“Imagine the regime media meltdown if a conservative called Hispanics ‘breakfast tacos’ like Dr. Jill Biden did at the Latinx Luncheon today. Democringe.” Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) spokeswoman Christina Pushaw noted.

“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?” Ted Cruz’s Special Advisor for Communications Steve Guest wrote.

Texas GOP Congressional candidate Irene Armendariz-Jackson projected a further plunge in the dwindling support for President Biden and his administration in the Hispanic community: “Jill Biden came to Texas to tell the Hispanic community that we’re as ‘unique as breakfast tacos.’ The fact that someone actually approved her to say that line in her speech and that NO ONE saw an issue with it is wild. They’re going to be at a 5% Hispanic approval rating soon.”

Rep. Andy Biggs (R-AZ) chimed in, “Jill Biden says Hispanics are as ‘unique’ as tacos and calls bodegas ‘bogidas.’ No wonder Hispanics are fleeing the Democratic Party!”

Former White House Special Assistant to the President Steven Cheung echoed, “This is so true. My people are not rice. Latinos are not tacos. They’ve reduced us all to stereotypical foods! The Bidens’ liberal whiteness has rotted their entire worldview!”

Consultant Matt Whitlock: “Trump ate a taco bowl on Cinco De Mayo and they went crazy for YEARS. The First Lady just compared the Hispanic community to tacos in remarks that were somehow written and vetted by professional staff and we just get ‘Republicans pounced’ stories?”
