He was responding to this story from NBC News about First Lady Jill Biden delivering cookies to National Guard troops:
First Lady Dr. Jill Biden visits National Guard troops stationed outside the US Capitol in DC:
"I just wanted to come today to say thank you to all of you for keeping me and my family safe … The White House baked you some chocolate chip cookies." pic.twitter.com/lv33IZeblq

It really was a disgusting comment:
What a disgusting comment.

How many languages does Dr. Biden speak, Tim?
Can she speak six languages, like Melania? Since you make that seem important, felt a needed question. https://t.co/GMSnLARZob

And we’re sorry this is happening to you:
So sorry this has happened to you, Tim.

Yes. Imagine it:
Seriously now if a Right winged news source had said this they would be called xenophobic. Let’s be better than this.

He did hit the trifecta, however:
This tweet is:
✅Xenophobic
✅Partisan
✅Grammatically challenged— Rummatumtums (@RummaTumTums) January 22, 2021
And here’s the apology:
I apologize for a stupid joke, which was tasteless and without humor.
