Jill Biden is facing backlash after comparing Hispanic people to tacos, the Daily Beast reports.
Said the First Lady: “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.”
The National Association of Hispanic Journalists responded: “We are not tacos.”
