CBS host Gayle King defends First Lady after 'tacos' gaffe: 'When you know Jill Biden, that's not who she is'

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.

To be fair to the wife of the fool in the oval office, she didn’t compare Hispanics to breakfast tacos. Words have meaning. Sentences have syntax. She said Hispanics are “unique.” the “AS” gives an example of something that is unique. It’s called a simile.

It’s unfortunate that the public hears “Hispanic” and “tacos” in the same sentence and thinks that means “Hispanics are tacos.”

However, since Republicans are roasted on the spit for similar statements, she deserves criticism and should apologize.

If she had any common sense and/or humility, she would have deigned to ask her speechwriter how to pronounce every potentially difficult word.

No, to avoid that, she arrogantly strode forth into the klieg lights to show her superficiality.

Hey, Gayle? You leftists troglodytes are the ones who are obsessed with race and wet your pants every time you hear something that could even slightly be considered a slur. You’re the ones whose eyes bug out as you start screeching and stomping if someone says something that you consider “offensive.”

So, suck it up, Gayle. You want to make stupid little rules like that, then you and Jill will abide by them too.

But if Trump had said it ... CBS and all the rest would be calling him racist and demanding impeachment. Go figure.

Really, when you know Jill, she does not really care about tacos or whatever.
She just wants your vote.
You are not Latinix, if you do not vote for Joe!

Actually it was Slo Joe who said The hispanics are all different, unlike the black community. I guess to Biden all blacks are the same.

Imagine an alternate reality, in which Melania Trump gave a speech to a black organization in Jackson, Mississippi and said, “the diversity of this community ... as unique as the fried chicken (or chitlins, or ham hocks, or watermelon) here in Jackson, is your strength.”

Now imagine how the media would have reacted.
