'My God'! MSNBC hot take says Jill Biden's 'racist gaffe was cringeworthy,' BUT...

Jill Biden’s speech at a “Latinx IncluXion Luncheon” in San Antonio earlier this week contained so much cringe that an apology was later issued:

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". pic.twitter.com/Z4FSXtlUMe

An op-ed at MSNBC is attempting to eliminate some of the pouncing took the “it was bad, BUT” approach:

Jill Biden's racist gaffe was cringeworthy. But where was Republican outrage during Trump's countless attacks on Latinos? https://t.co/tZEniLkjL3

First of all, “gaffe”?

The racist speech that was cleared by three separate administration aide teams was just a “gaffe” https://t.co/wCRq6z9yL4

The words were part of FLOTUS’ speech and certainly weren’t gaffes.

“Jill Biden is racist BUT….”

My God https://t.co/qYaU7G3xLZ

“BUT…” LOL.

I couldn’t what-about this badly if you gave me a thousand tries.

The “but…” part starts immediately in the first paragraph of this op-ed:

Now that first lady Jill Biden has apologized for saying that Latinos are as “unique” as breakfast tacos, it’s time to pause from the latest manufactured right-wing outrage and examine why her comments, although slightly problematic, pale in comparison to years of even more dangerous rhetoric against a community still fighting back against lazy stereotypes.

Er, if it’s a “manufactured” controversy, what did Jill Biden’s office apologize for?

“The First Lady is racist BUT…” is QUITE the framing. https://t.co/9Lez8TMJtL

All that said, the Biden White House probably won’t like the tweet from MSNBC.
