#3 Excellent swimmers because they waded across the Rio Grande? In Texas, the stereotype is that Hispanics are poor swimmers. At least Hizzoner didn't say "wetbacks".

I don't see how the Bee can keep up with this.

Because every Mexican who can run, jump or swim is in America...

#6 New Yorkers voted for this. Our nation voted for Biden. Sure, they cheated to get him across the finish line, but its a fact that tens of millions of college-educated legal-to-vote adults actually voted for Biden. It doesn't get much more cringe than that.

#9 Just when you think their racism can't come out in an even more clownish way, they exceed expectations.

#11 I was a lifeguard/water safety instructor for many years. The experienced guards knew not to take the gigs along the Russian River or the lakes. Migrant kids are routinely fished from the waters. Hell, one drowned at a local waterpark which forced its closure back in the day.

#12 Wooooow.

Watch out Herchul, Adams bringing the classic racisms. Somebody might as well go there and ask him why he didn't appeal to the Black Community.

#13 He was reading from a prepared remarks. He prepared to be stupid ahead of time.

#15 To be a lifeguard one needs to know and enforce rules, so they don’t qualify.
