Social media users were left in stitches after Jill Biden butchered a popular Spanish phrase during a meeting with farmers in California.
The meeting was held on 31 March, on the birthday of César Chávez, a popular Latin American civil rights activist. Together with another activist Dolores Huerta, Chávez created the National Farm Workers Association and coined the famous motto Sí, se puede (Yes, it is possible or Yes, we can).
In Jill Biden's speech the encouraging motto transformed into mumbo-jumbo.

Some even suggested there should be a TV show called guess what the Bidens said.

Many users drew attention to the flag of the United Farm Workers of America, which they claimed looked similar to the flag of the Nazi Party.
