Joe hates Kamala.
During a Zoom call on Tuesday with “Voto Latino,” one of the largest Latino voter and civic outreach organizations in the United States, President Biden referred to Trump supporters as “garbage.”
Biden was reacting to a joke from roast comedian Tony Hinchcliffe; he called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage” while warming up the crowd at Trump’s MSG rally on Sunday.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said on Tuesday. “[Trump’s] demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it is un-American.”
Vice presidential candidate JD Vance shared the clip, saying Harris and Biden “ought to be ashamed.”
Watch the clip below:
A mother mourning her son who died of a fentanyl overdose is not garbage. A truck driver who can't afford rising diesel prices is not garbage. A father who wants to afford groceries is not garbage.

Biden tweeted later that evening, “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. 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.”

Biden’s remarks cut against Kamala Harris’ remarks at her last major campaign event in Washington D.C. in which the Democratic Party candidate called for unity.
Harris campaign senior adviser Stephanie Cutter told MSNBC, “The president did clarify what he was talking about, but the vice president has been clear that her campaign, her presidency is about all Americans. And, you know, when she’s president, she’s not going to care who you voted for. She’s going to fight for you regardless, and I also want to say, spare me the faux outrage from Donald Trump, JD Vance and his campaign. Even as they’re trying to argue that President Biden is disparaging Trump voters, the president is calling the entire country a trash can. You know, even at the Madison Square Garden [event], his supporters not only disparaged Puerto Rican Americans, but disparaged all Latinos. So, spare me the faux outrage.”
Even CNN is admitting that Biden’s comments may have done “significant harm” to the Harris campaign.
