First Lady Jill Biden is facing mockery for her decision to speak at a “Latinx IncluXion Luncheon.”

ABC News affiliate KSAT 12 tweeted on Monday, “The First Lady will visit San Antonio Monday to speak at the Latinx IncluXion Luncheon.”

“Latinx” is a term that has become popular among some liberals and is used as a gender-neutral alternative to Latino or Latina that is meant to be more inclusive for the LGBT community.

And thus, the event that Jill Biden is speaking at decided to take it a step further and change inclusion to “IncluXion” — perhaps it is an attempt to be playful. This is just going too far.

Polls show that the word is unpopular among Hispanic voters.

A poll of voters of Latin American descent, conducted by Bendixen and Amandi International, a Miami-based Democratic firm, found that 68% of respondents said they prefer the term Hispanic. Meanwhile, 21% said they preferred Latino.

And 40% said “Latinx” is offensive.

Even Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) criticized Democrats for using the phrase in a desperate attempt to bolster their electoral prospects.

Still, Jill Biden chose to speak at the event because nothing says, “We hear you and we’re fighting for you” like using made-up terms, right?

Biden’s attendance at an event using what is apparently an offensive term led some users to recall the time she botched the Spanish phrase “Sí se puede” at an event last year.

“So say it with me, ‘Sí se pwaud-way,’ the future is ours,” she confidently declared.

If Democrats really want to stop hemorrhaging support among Hispanic voters, perhaps they stop using these bizarre made-up terms and treating them like a monolithic bloc who think the same.

Instead, they should treat them with respect like normal humans and stop trying to force terms crafted by over-educated liberals with too much time on their hands, and listen to people who live outside of their liberal strongholds.
