LaRosa posted to Twitter to attempt amends.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The First Lady apologizes that her words conveyed anything but pure admiration and love for the Latino community.<\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Michael LaRosa (@MichaelLaRosa46) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/MichaelLaRosa46\/status\/1546841930495131649?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 12, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>However, the First Lady is now being receiving even more criticism for not making the apology herself. This includes push-back from congressional nominee from Texas Jenny Garcia who said the Mrs. Biden is apologizing to her press secretary rather than addressing the American people directly.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">She apologized to who\u2026 you?
