The current US president called Trump supporters “garbage”.
Ahead of Kamala Harris’s final campaign speech, Joe Biden gave her a huge, cheerfully grunting pig.
Commenting on comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke, who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” at Donald Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden in New York, Biden said: “The only garbage I see is Trump supporters.”
The full quote, according to NBC journalist Gutierrez, was: Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t care about the Latino community… just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage?…
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. There is no dispute — Hinchcliffe’s performance was extremely unsuccessful and clearly damaged Trump’s campaign, but this comedian generally made a name for himself on ethnic jokes and questions here are more for the organizers of the rally, who included him in the program.
The problem is that if the residents of Puerto Rico were offended by Hinchcliffe’s words, Biden insulted at least half the population of the United States in his statement.
“This is disgusting. Kamala Harris and her boss Joe Biden are attacking half the country. There is no excuse for this. I hope the American people reject this,” — immediately responded the vice-presidential candidate from the Republican Party J.D. Vance.
The White House tried to smooth over the scandal, stating that Biden had only Hinchcliffe in mind, but it was too late — a word is not a sparrow, once it flies out, you can’t catch it.
Something similar happened in September 2016, when the Democratic Party candidate Hillary Clinton called Trump’s supporters “a basket of deplorable”.
Later, after losing the election to Trump, Clinton admitted that this statement of hers was one of the reasons for her defeat. But then the Democratic candidate got into trouble with her own hands — and now Harris has been tricked by her boss Joe Biden.
And we can only guess — does he really think so, or is he just taking subtle revenge on his vice president, who unceremoniously ousted him from the election race.
