Biden Calls Trump Supporters "Garbage" in Wake of Trump MSG Rally Comments

[Webster]

(The Guardian) Biden says Trump supporters are floating garbage, in reference to racist remarks about Puerto Rico
The US president addressed comments made by Trump and his supporters about Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans, saying that the only garbage he sees “floating out there is his [Trump’s] supporters”.

The Harris campaign has called Trump supporters “weird” but has otherwise been careful to avoid insulting the Republican nominee’s base as they try to avoid a repeat of Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” comments.

NBC’s Gabe Gutierrez reports that the White House has sought to walk back Biden’s remarks, saying that he was referring specifically to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who made the racist remark referring to Puerto Rico as an “island of garbage”, as himself being floating garbage – and not Trump’s supporters.

A transcript of Biden’s remarks has not been published by the White House.

I thought Trump supporters were "deplorable".

The Dems need to get their message straight.

Deplorable, garbage....sometimes I think its' one and the same with the lot of them.

Way to lump an entire group of people as garbage

And then the media wrings its hands in tears about how polarized the country is.

There's been plenty of hate spewing from the top of both sides in the last week to polarize damned near everybody.

Well, given the dark and frankly disturbing things Trump and his supporters have said over the years....

And then the media wrings its hands in tears about how polarized the country is.

Its' akin to being in school and getting bullied over and over again and finally fighting back agst. the bullies; guess who usually gets caught in those situations?
Not the bully.

Same similar situation here, Doc; people are just fed up and sick & tired of Donald Trump and his supporters and they want to see America turn to a new path, away from the hate and divisiveness. Unfortunately, that often means wading into the very gutter the media titans bemoan in the first place. Remember the scene in Mississippi Burning where Willem Dafoe's character complains to Gene Hackman's character about the tactics' being used to go after the Klansmen in that case?


Same general thing here, Doc.
