In August 2020, a story began circulating on the internet stating that Jill Biden, wife of Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden, would require all Americans to learn Spanish if she became first lady. This story was originally attributed to the New York Post. Toward the end of summer 2020, the same story popped up on tatersgonnatate.com, positing that this would be Jill Biden's only initiative as first lady: This item was not a factual recounting of real initiatives planned by Jill Biden. The article originated with a website that describes its output as being humorous or satirical in nature, as follows: The website tatersgonnatate.com describes the people they target as Taters, who are the conservative fans of America’s Last Line of Defense. They are fragile, frightened, mostly older caucasian Americans. This post has remained on tatersgonnatate.com, and it is meant to be satire. There is no record of Jill Biden's proposing such a policy, nor making the claims mentioned in the article. For background, here is why we sometimes write about satire/humor.
