CBS host Gayle King defends First Lady after 'tacos' gaffe: 'When you know Jill Biden, that's not who she is'
Fox News ^ | July 12, 2022 | Taylor Penley

CBS co-host Vladimir Duthiers noted that many found the comment 'incredibly offensive'

First Lady Jill Biden took heat Monday for a short-sighted comment comparing Hispanics to "breakfast tacos" during the UnidosUS Annual Conference in San Antonio, Texas, but one CBS host was sympathetic to the gaffe.

"Raul 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," she said Monday, praising UnidosUS President Raul Yzaguirre for his work.

"CBS Mornings" host Gayle King reassured viewers the remarks were not reflective of the First Lady during Tuesday's broadcast, saying, "When you know Jill Biden, that's not who she is."

King added that Biden's message "didn't come out correctly," while coming to her defense during the segment. King, who has donated to Democrats, has vacationed with the Obama family and is also close friends with billionaire Oprah Winfrey and Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J.

Yep, Ted Danson in blackface kind of pass.

Keep in mind Ted Danson had to sleep with Whoopie Goldberg to earn that pass.

I have a LOT of Hispanic friends in Texas. Every one of them HATES Joe Biden and they all LOVE Donald Trump. They are so conservative it’s shocking.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>.
A large majority of Hispanic men (also many Hispanic women) prefer manly men, i.e. those with a “macho” image. That’s why Trump has great appeal for them. He definitely will get their vote in 2024 if he’s the Republican candidate.

Correct, unless they mistake me to be one of their own. That’s when they discover they’ve made a big mistake!

Social-climbing trollop! I like that one. Rarely see that word “trollop” nowadays. Probably considered archaic!

“when you know Jill Biden, that’s not who she is!”
My guess would be that Hunter Biden knows his step mother, better than some leftist reporter. Check recent articles to view his assessment of her.

I first heard Buffy St. Marie sing it with lyrics, but a woman singing a song about a brothel is unseemly, so I went with Flatt and Scruggs.

Her speech writer surely thought this would bring a smile to everyone’s face. He/She must have had a pretty lovely morning in San Antonio at some time, with a “breakfast taco” that was simply divine.

I wonder what a “blossom” is in Miami.

Well, Gail, is she more like what Hunter Biden thinks she is like??

What a family.
