Maybe first lady Jill Biden should give up on trying to pander to Hispanics because it just doesn’t go well. Remember this from last year?

~ Jill Biden Can’t Say “Sí Se Puede” (Spanish for “Yes We Can)
Si Se Pwodway!
Hmmm ... the Biden White House sure wishes they had a classy First Lady who can speak five languages, now don't they?!
Ever since then the Democrats have been losing Hispanic voters in droves, and the Biden White House obviously thought they could help turn that around by sending first lady Jill Biden to a “Latinx IncluXion Luncheon.” During her remarks, Jill Biden attempted to say “bodega” and, well, here’s what happened:
Jorge Bonilla (@BonillaJL) ~ Once again, Dr. Jill Biden butchers the Spanish language in furtherance of pandering to a client constituency (the org FKA National Council of La Raza). I hereby bless your timelines with Dr. Jill's rendering of "bodega."

OOF.
Storm Paglia (@storm_paglia) ~ The bogedas of the Bronx? LOL!
“Bogadas of the Bronx” could be a good band name, though.
Giancarlo Sopo (@GiancarloSopo) ~ Spanish is a difficult language. But if you're going to take a swing at Hispandering, you've got to do better than this.
Abigail Marone (@abigailmarone) ~ Oh my!
Yep, it’s going great, Team Biden! This comparison was something else as well:
Steve Guest (@SteveGuest) ~ Jill Biden just said Hispanics are as “unique” as tacos.
This isn’t Veep. Which White House speechwriter just won a bet for getting the First Lady to say something like this?
Yikes.
The White House chose to go with the “as prepared” version for their transcript, so at least “bodegas” is correct here:
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.
The White House’s efforts to pander to Hispanic voters continue to bring the cringe.
Tim Graham (@TimJGraham) ~ Wait until she speaks in La-va-gas, Nevada.
Michael Openshaw (@mopenshaw) ~ Never interrupt your political opponents while they're busy setting themselves on fire.
Ingenuous Firebrand (@ING2Firebrand) ~ No. She said, "let me repeat that line."
Damn that beaner teleprompter! Heh heh heh heh heh.
Here’s the proper way the first lady should have pronounced it at that particular luncheon:
Kevin McMahon (@Kevin__McMahon) ~ Bodegx
Go with that, White House!
The essential American soul is hard, isolate, stoic, and a killer. It has never yet melted. ~ D.H. Lawrence
