Jill Biden apologizes after comparing Latinos to tacos during San Antonio speech

First lady Jill Biden is apologizing after saying Latinos are as "unique" as "breakfast tacos" at an event in San Antonio, Texas, her spokesperson Michael LaRosa said. 

"The First Lady apologizes that her words conveyed anything but pure admiration and love for the Latino community," LaRosa wrote on Twitter Tuesday.

During the annual UnidosUS conference on Monday, Biden was praising the work of Raul Yzaguirre, who led the civil rights and advocacy organization for 30 years, and the diversity of Latinos across the U.S. when she made the remarks. Yzaguirre received a Medal of Freedom last week from President Joe Biden.
