Biden Clarifies Remark on Trump Supporters After Backlash Over "Garbage" Comment
ai generated text
Biden's comment came in response to a remark made at a Trump rally, where a speaker referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage". Biden condemned the remark and said, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters."
I've been very clear with the American public – I respect the challenges that people face, I respect the fact that we all have so much more in common than what separates us.
I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn't support.
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American.
Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump's supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage — which is the only word I can think of to describe it. [Hinchcliffe's] demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That's all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don't reflect who we are as a nation.
We are not garbage, we are patriots who love America.
President Trump is backed by Latinos, Black voters, union workers, law enforcement officers, and Americans of all faiths — and Biden has labelled these great Americans as garbage. Kamala doesn't deserve four more years. President Trump will be a president for ALL Americans.
Obama called us clingers. Hillary called [us] deplorables. Kamala calls us fascists. And Biden just called us garbage. They don't respect us and don't want unity. But we do. We want to Make America Great Again. Our coalition is for ALL AMERICANS. And in 7 days, we will UNITE AMERICA.
I've done more for Puerto Rico than any president I think that's ever … been president.
Joe Biden calls our supporters 'garbage.' You can't lead America if you don't love the American people.
That's what it says. Remember when Hillary [Clinton] called us deplorable? That didn't work out for her. I think 'garbage' is worse. But you have to forgive him; he just doesn't know what he's saying. These people are terrible, terrible.
There's literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. Yeah. I think it's called Puerto Rico.
