LMAO If this were Trump everybody would be having an emotional break down and not be joking about it.

Sometimes this starts to feel like a game, where they are trying to see how far they can go before they lose votes.

Imagine if Melania had called Hispanics Tacos, these people would never shut up about it.

My local corner Mexican restaurant had the "Jill Special" on the menu this morning. Two tacos with a vegetable on the side!

Calling someone a Taco is a compliment when you live with a turd sandwich.

As a Mexican, this is truly offensing and I'm so annoyed by those who "love the Hispanic community " and their remarks just show how racist they truly are.

Most Hispanics can care less about the taco reference, but the woke media just can't let it go. It's cannibalistic. I LOVE IT.

Why am I being called a Fruit Cake all of a sudden!? Jill Biden

[kevinbaker]

She could have said, "the Latino community is as diverse and individual as the countries of their origins and the mix of immigrant Latinos, native persons, and persons of varied racial, ethnic and religious backgrounds. Everyone of them bringing their spice to the pot we collectively call Latino."

[heinzruedi]

Latinos miss Trump and will vote for him in 2024!

[lisagardner]

Maybe I should tell Jill her husband is as unique as another nursing home patient.

[notagain]

Well come on "breakfast tacos" are, wonderful! Right -Jill. Maybe she had Hot sauce in her bag too! 😆

Joe and Jill went up to the Hill without a good script writer. Joe fell down just like a clown and Jill's mouth is a disaster.
