As we’ve pointed out repeatedly, the Democratic party has a real problem with Hispanic voters who, for the first time, are increasingly drifting to the Republican party.
In an apparent attempt to woo Hispanic voters, First Lady Jill Biden spoke this week at an event called the ‘Latinx IncluXion Luncheon’ in Texas.
Polls consistently show that Latino voters reject the term ‘Latinx’ but the Democrats keep doubling down on it for some reason.
KSAT News first reported:
First lady Jill Biden recalls visit to Robb Elementary during address to Latinx conference in San AntonioFirst lady Jill Biden was in San Antonio on Monday to speak at the Latinx IncluXion luncheon.The luncheon at the Grand Hyatt on the San Antonio River Walk was part of the UnidosUS Annual Conference.The conference is a yearly event held for people to collaborate on issues that include housing, health, racial equity, education, diversity, and inclusion.
Not everyone was impressed. FOX News reports:
Jill Biden slammed by Hispanic conservatives for speaking at ‘Latinx IncluXion’ eventFirst lady Jill Biden is facing ridicule from conservative Hispanics ahead of her headline speech at a “Latinx IncluXion Luncheon” in San Antonio on Monday…Cassy Garcia, a Hispanic Republican who is running to unseat Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar in Texas, linked Jill Biden’s appearance at the event with the crisis at the border, which is seeing a record influx of illegal immigrants.Carolina Amesty, a Hispanic Republican running for the Florida House of Representatives, tweeted: “Everyone knows that not a single Hispanic uses ‘Latinx.’ The reason why woke corporations and Democrats keep imposing it on us is to control how we think about gender, and thus, how we vote. Unfortunately for them, we believe in God, Family, and Freedom — not MarXism.””More failed Hispanic outreach from Democrats,” tweeted Republican National Committee Latinos.

And now, for the best part. Have fun imagining how Democrats and the media would react if it was Melania Trump saying these things.
From The Hill:
While referring to UnidosUS President Raul Yzaguirre’s work, she commented on the diversity of the Hispanic community.She said Yzaguirre “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.”
Watch:
The word ‘cringe’ gets thrown around a lot, but here it seems entirely appropriate.
