First Lady Dr. Jill Biden is receiving blowback from Hispanic conservative voices over her appearance at the “Latinx IncluXion Luncheon” in San Antonio on Monday.
According to the event’s website, the luncheon is “the opportunity to learn about and collaborate on issues ranging from housing to health, racial equity to education, diversity and inclusion to owning our narrative as a community.”
From Fox News:
Jill Biden’s speech at the Latinx IncluXion Luncheon will take place at 1PM and will immediately be followed by a panel titled, “A Powerful Case for Equity,” featuring two speakers from the Biden administration and Arkansas Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson.
“Equity in education is the foundation for equity in every other sector,” the panel description reads. “As the pandemic and the Uvalde massacre have underscored the need for culturally and linguistically competent health responses, the nation’s leaders join us to chart the path forward for Latino children and families.”
Cassy Garcia, a Hispanic Republican who is running to unseat Democratic Rep. Henry Cuellar in Texas, poked fun at the event and proposed an idea on how to get Joe Biden down to the border.
“Maybe if we rebrand the Southern Border as SouXern BorderX, Joe Biden will finally visit?”

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.
More failed Hispanic outreach from Democrats:
📉 Only 2% of Hispanics refer to themselves as Latinx.
📈 40% of Hispanics say Latinx bothers or offends them to some degree. https://t.co/DzCBVN6xx8— RNC Latinos (@RNCLatinos) July 11, 2022
