Ted Cruz (R-Texas) slammed the Biden administration over its latest scandal known as \u201ctaco-gate.\u201d In a statement Wednesday, the Texas lawmaker ridiculed Democrat officials for pushing the woke term \u201cLatinx\u201d on the Latino community.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">CRUZ: \u201cThe Biden White House has time to write speeches at something called a &#8216;Latinx conference.&#8217; I don&#8217;t know what that is\u2026Some White House operative sat down and typed into the teleprompter. \u2018This is a good idea to call Hispanics a bunch of tacos\u2019.\u201d<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/X9Ud7JgMOe\">pic.twitter.com\/X9Ud7JgMOe<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Benny Johnson (@bennyjohnson) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/bennyjohnson\/status\/1547318852937289730?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 13, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cWell Marco and I appreciate being called tacos,\u201d Cruz said sarcastically. \u201cRemember about that speech? That wasn\u2019t a gaffe. That wasn\u2019t Joe Biden going off script. Some White House operative sat down and typed into the teleprompter, this is a good idea to call Hispanics a bunch of tacos.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Republican also said First Lady Jill Biden comparing Latinos to tacos was not a good idea. She has since apologized for her recent comments at a Hispanic conference in San Antonio, Texas.<\/p>\n<p>Her press secretary, Michael LaRosa, tweeted the First Lady\u2019s apology for her on Tuesday. The apology came a day after she made the comparison in her speech at the 2022 UnidosUS Annual Conference while talking about UnidosUS President Raul Yzaguirre\u2019s work in the organization.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cRaul 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,\u201d Mrs. Biden said.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\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>The senator asserted this is why Southern Texas will vote Republican this year despite being a traditionally blue area.
