The White Home late Wednesday night tried desperately to wash up after President Biden appeared to name half of America, those that help Donald Trump, “garbage.”
The background on that is the controversy over an insult comedian that appeared at Trump’s rally in Madison Sq. Backyard over the weekend.
In the course of the rally at MSG, comic Tony Hinchcliffe made jokes (that’s what comedians do, folks) about Puerto Rico, stating, “There is literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now,” in reference to the U.S. territory.
Naturally, the humorless media have been outraged over the remark for days, calling it “racist.” Think about rising from a Dave Chappelle present, and your headline is that you just’re outraged over ‘racist’ jokes. That’s mainly the case right here.
However then got here Biden’s Revenge.
Biden made remarks throughout a Voto Latino name the place he used Hinchcliffe’s remarks as a springboard and appeared to consult with Trump’s supporters as “garbage.”
Obama referred to as us clingers.
Hillary referred to as us deplorables.
Kamala calls us fascists.
And Biden simply referred to as us rubbish.They don’t respect us & don’t need unity.
However we do.
We wish to Make America Nice Once more.
Our coalition is for ALL AMERICANS.
And in 7 days, we are going to UNITE… pic.twitter.com/WYZePbYOyK— Byron Donalds (@ByronDonalds) October 30, 2024
Biden Calls Trump Supporters Rubbish
The hilarious half about all of this controversy is that Vice President Kamala Harris was speculated to have the highlight final night time.
Harris delivered her closing argument speech at a rally on the Ellipse in Washington, D.C., the place she contrasted her imaginative and prescient of unity and progress with Trump’s alleged deal with division and private vendettas, calling him a “petty tyrant.”
After which her personal boss, the petty tyrant that he’s, comes out and steals the thunder.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden mentioned. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American.”
The video makes it fairly clear who he’s referring to. However the White Home went into livid clean-up mode, including an apostrophe to the phrase “supporters” to make it appear as if he had been referring to the comic alone. And the transcript releases itself from the administration, and their mates within the media went utterly off the rails.
Somebody including an apostrophe after the very fact doesn’t assist Biden. He referred to as Trump supporters rubbish. Clearly, somebody who thinks a single particular person could be a “they” thought including an apostrophe was good harm management. It isn’t. pic.twitter.com/5kl9uou1U3

So dangerous was the scenario that President Biden was pressured to make clear his remarks on social media effectively previous his bedtime.
“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,” an announcement on X reads.
“His 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.”
However that’s not what he mentioned. In any respect. The truth, sadly for him and Kamala, was caught on tape.

By night time’s finish, completely no one was speaking about Harris’s speech any longer. Biden had taken the air out of her complete effort with remarks that echoed the well-known “basket of deplorables” remark from Hillary Clinton in 2016.
“You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables. Right?” Clinton mentioned on the time. “The racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamaphobic—you name it.”
After all, Harris herself isn’t any higher, linking Trump to Adolf Hitler and usually referring to anyone who helps him as neo-Nazis.
That is who they’re. That is what they consider you. Behave accordingly.
