San Francisco Mayor London Breed Apologizes for Comments About Hondurans
NBC Bay Area | October 20, 2022 | Gia Vang
San Francisco Mayor London Breed is apologizing for comments she made during a show earlier this month.

Bidenesque:

Breed left without answering any questions from the media after clarifying statements she made on Oct. 5 on a KQED show.

“There are unfortunately a lot of people who come from a particular country. Come from Honduras and a lot of people who are dealing that drug happen to be of that ethnicity,” she said.

Like the “racist Trump”, saying that Mexico was not sending us their best?

Breed added that she wasn’t racial profiling and that it was the truth of the matter.

. . . Like the “racist Trump”, saying that Mexico was not sending us their best?

The backlash wasn’t immediate until the video began circulating.
Some people were angry and accused the mayor of singling out Hondurans. While there were others who posted support for what she said.

Try not to start a sentence with “while,” NBC.

Earlier Wednesday, Breed issued a statement and said in part:
“I want to apologize to the Latino community for what I said and how I said it. In trying to explain what is happening in the Tenderloin, I failed to accurately and comprehensively discuss what is an incredibly complex situation in our City and in Central America.”
“I accept the apology, only because we know that she meant well,” said Hispanic Chamber of Commerce President Carlos Solorzano.
Solorzano said the chamber’s research in 2018, done in eight blocks of the Tenderloin, showed most drug sellers were juveniles from Honduras, there to make money to send back to their families.
But he added there’s a big “but,” especially in today’s cultural climate.

“There’s always a big but”

“We also have to understand that we’re not naming only one ethnicity. That is not good enough anymore,” Solorzano said. “With all the turmoil that we have between the Latino community, the African American, the Asian communities, we need to work more together. So, we need to be more conscious of what we say, when we’re pointing fingers especially on that.”

Is English this guy’s language? Because I’m not sure what he’s trying to say.

Couldn’t Resist

Kamala Harris Mocked for Gushing Over a “Yellow School Bus”: “They Really Can’t Let Her Talk in Public”
Fox News | 10/26/22 | Lindsay Kornick
Harris spoke at Lumen Field in Seattle with a backdrop of four electric school buses to announce nearly $1 billion being awarded to school districts to replace older buses with electric vehicles. This funding came in part from the bipartisan infrastructure bill passed in 2021.
During her speech, Harris commented on the nostalgia of a “yellow school bus.”
“Who doesn’t love a yellow school bus, right?
“Can you raise your hand if you love a yellow school bus?
“Many of us went to school on the yellow school bus, right? It’s part of our experience growing up. It’s part of a nostalgia, a memory of the excitement and joy of going to school to be with your favorite teacher, to be with your best friends and to learn.
“The school bus takes us there,” she said.
These comments were mocked on Twitter as another example of embarrassing moments from the vice president.
“Democrats have been hiding Kamala, but she just had a press conference and talked about yellow school buses and my goodness they really can’t let her talk in public about anything,” Radio host Clay Travis tweeted.
