President Biden sparked backlash on Tuesday when he appeared to compare supporters of former President Trump to garbage after commenting on a racist joke a comedian made at a Trump rally days earlier likening Puerto Rico to an \u201cisland of garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White House in a statement argued that the president was referring to the rhetoric at Trump\u2019s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday as \u201cgarbage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as \u2018garbage,\u2019\u201d deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It also provided a fuller transcript of the comment, which included an apostrophe with \u201csupporter\u2019s,\u201d to indicate Biden was referring to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe\u2019s \u201cdemonization of Latinos\u201d as \u201cgarbage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hinchcliffe delivered a comedic set at a Madison Square Garden rally for Trump on Sunday in New York City that mocked Latinos, Jews and Black men and included a joke comparing Puerto Rico to a \u201cfloating island of garbage.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a \u2018floating island of garbage.\u2019 Well, let me tell you something. I don\u2019t \u2014 I \u2014 I don\u2019t know the Puerto Rican that \u2014 that I know \u2014 or a Puerto Rico, where I\u2019m from, in my home state of Delaware, they\u2019re good, decent, honorable people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter\u2019s \u2014 his \u2014 his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it\u2019s un-American. It\u2019s totally contrary to everything we\u2019ve done, everything we\u2019ve been,\u201d Biden said, according to the transcript provided by the White House.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a post on X, Biden himself asserted he was referring to the rhetoric from Hinchcliffe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEarlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump\u2019s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage\u2014which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable,\u201d Biden posted. \u201cThat\u2019s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don\u2019t reflect who we are as a nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A video clip of Biden\u2019s remarks also circulated. In that clip, it sounds as if the president ends one thought with the word \u201csupporters,\u201d and then begins a new sentence referring to the \u201cdemonization of Latinos.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,\u201d Biden appears to say in the clip. \u201cHis, his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it\u2019s un-American. It\u2019s totally contrary to everything we\u2019ve done, everything we\u2019ve been.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden often misspeaks, sometimes making it difficult to figure out what he is saying or meaning. It\u2019s also true that different people could hear different things from his comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Either way, the remarks and the clean-up effort struck a discordant note for Democrats, as they circulated widely just as Vice President Harris completed a speech at the Ellipse behind the White House where she made her closing campaign argument against former President Donald Trump.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s comments on the call with Voto Latino, a major advocacy group for organizing Latino voters, quickly went viral, with Trump allies comparing them to then-Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton\u2019s 2016 remarks when she said some of the former president\u2019s supporters were \u201cdeplorables.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) brought up the remark while on stage at Trump\u2019s rally in Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s terrible,\u201d Trump said, suggesting Biden\u2019s remark was worse than Clinton\u2019s 2016 comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is disgusting. Kamala Harris and her boss Joe Biden are attacking half of the country,\u201d Sen. JD Vance (R-Ohio), the GOP nominee for vice president, posted on X. \u201cThere\u2019s no excuse for this. I hope Americans reject it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHarris and Biden falsely claim they want to unify the nation while calling tens of millions of Americans TRASH,\u201d senior Trump campaign adviser Brian Hughes posted on X. \u201cThis is the quiet part out loud about those of us who simply want life to be affordable again and a secure border to keep our families safe.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) was asked about the comments on CNN. He said he had not heard the remarks prior to coming on air, but added that he would \u201cnever insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans, even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn\u2019t support.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Others questioned the White House\u2019s explanation for Biden\u2019s remarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe problem with the transcript bit beyond people having ears is that the unintelligible interpolation of multiple distinct thoughts isn\u2019t a very good defense,\u201d Liam Donovan, a Republican strategist, posted on X.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden\u2019s comments handed the Trump campaign a lifeline at a time when the former president and his allies were under intense scrutiny for the rhetoric at his Sunday rally at Madison Square Garden, where speakers made numerous racist and sexist comments about Democrats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to Hinchcliffe, Sid Rosenberg, a New York City radio host whose show Trump periodically calls in to, said the Democratic Party was a \u201cbunch of degenerates.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One speaker described Harris as \u201cthe devil\u201d and \u201cthe antichrist,\u201d and former Fox News host Tucker Carlson mocked Harris\u2019s biracial heritage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Biden has appeared sparingly alongside Vice President Harris since she replaced him as the Democratic nominee in late July. Axios reported earlier this week that the Harris campaign believes Biden is a political liability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harris delivered her closing argument speech to more than 75,000 supporters on the National Mall on Tuesday night, where she urged Americans to turn the page on the divisiveness of the Trump years. Biden did not attend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
