The Hispanic journalists' group slammed the first lady for her Monday speech where she compared the diversity of the Latino community to the "breakfast taco."
One of the former presidents of UnidosUS built it with diversity in mind, according to Biden.
She mispronouncedbodegas in the speech.
The crowd cheered when the comments were made, and Biden laughed.
The National Association of Hispanic Journalists said that Biden's speech showed a lack of cultural knowledge and sensitivity to the diversity of the Latino community.
"NAHJ encourages Dr. Biden and her speech writing team to take the time in the future to understand the complexity of our people and communities."
We are not a group of people who eat tortillas. Latino heritage is shaped by many different cultures and traditions. We shouldn't be reduced to stereotypes.
A number of Republicans seized on Biden's comments about Hispanics. The Hispanics are leaving the Democratic Party.
Steve Guest, an advisor to Sen. Ted Cruz, asked which White House speech writer won a bet for getting the First Lady to say something.
Janet Murgua, the president and CEO of UnidosUS, said that she was honored to host Biden. Privileged to talk to her.
