Biden calls Trump supporters 'garbage."
“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said during a campaign call at the White House Tuesday first reported by NBC. “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. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

Link to quote: Biden says 'only garbage I see floating' is Trump supporters

Joe Biden made a major mistake yesterday. Evidently, he was so angry that some unknown comedian made a terrible joke about Puerto Rico that Biden called Trump supporters "garbage." We are into the last week of the election. The very time when campaigns and people associated with them seek to do no harm to their own. Yesterday Biden became the instrument for Trump to get out the vote.

Former President Trump found out about the remark during his Tuesday night rally in, Allentown, Pa. when Florida Senator Marco Rubio broke the news to the crowd assembled there. Trump immediately denounced Biden’s “garbage” remark, declaring it worse than when Hillary Clinton called the 45th president’s supporters “deplorable.”

Biden then tried to walk it back on social media:

Even with a recording Biden and his handlers tried to gaslight their way out of it. The "transcript" from the White House is also not accurate. It is simply not much of a step to go from calling people Nazis to calling them garbage and that is who they are.

Meanwhile Kamala Harris is calling the former President a fascist .


Get out there and vote, if for nothing else but the type of world your kids will have to live in..

You're confusing polls with actual citizens.  Highest voter turnout has been about 2/3 of legal voters.  Half of that would be 1/3.

Non-citizens cannot vote, but you go ahead with your standard GOP conspiracy theory.  Fear mongering is all the GOP has left since they have no popular policies.

2. Why are Democrats fighting so hard to keep them on the rolls?

They're not.  They are aware however that republicans, being over-zealous, will remove people who can legally vote from those rolls as well.  Probably based on how foreign their name sound.  The fact that minorities vote more democratic than republican just being a fortunate coincidence.

It has not been verified they are, or aren't. Then actual legal US Citizens are caught up in purges.

This Trump supporter was labeled a noncitizen and kicked off Texas’ voter rolls

How does that work if one is mistakenly flagged as a non-citizen?

Regardless of how she was flagged as a noncitizen, Howard-Elley wanted to ensure she could vote. She ordered several copies of her certified Louisiana birth certificate and confirmed receipt with an elections office employee. She thought the matter was resolved. But Howard-Elley’s registration was not reinstated, making her the 10th U.S. citizen identified by ProPublica, The Texas Tribune and Votebeat who was removed from the rolls as a potential noncitizen.

Very unlikely that it's the DMV's fault.  It is probably automated and a bug in the system does not check if that box is checked.  If you feel the overwhelming need to blame someone, find out the company that created the software and blame them.

Because purging the rolls will also cause legal voters to lose the ability to vote within 1 week of the election.  By the time notifications are mailed to everyone effected, they receive the mail, and open it, they will probably not have time to fix it, or not find out until after the election is over when they were denied the ability to vote.

"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," he seemed to say. "His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable."

But the White House denied that the president had said this about Trump supporters and released a transcript with a statement noting that "supporters" was in fact "supporter ' s ," and Mr. Biden was referring to Hinchcliffe and his joke.

A White House transcript says this is what Mr. Biden said: "And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage."  Well, let me tell you something.  I don't — I — I don't know the Puerto Rican that — that I know —or a Puerto Rico, where I'm fr— in my home state of Delaware, they're good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American.  It's totally contrary to everything we've done, everything we've been."

"The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as 'garbage,'" White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement. 

"Supporters" or "supporter's"? Biden comments about Trump "garbage" rally anger the GOP - CBS News

I dont see this as being a big problem in any case. There is no actual swing or undecided voter who will vote for Trump because Biden got tongue tied.  Anyone who ends up with that decision was never going to vote for Harris anyway. 

I'm not running for president so I can say the Trump supporters who have put this country through hell with their conspiracy theories, stolen election crap, and worship of the worst political figure in US history  are garbage. I would call it an if the shoe fits situation.

Let's just bask in what you are doing. The Democrats have spent the last 48 hours claiming a joke from a comedian about the amount of garbage on Puerto Rico actually means, despite the words used,  he was not only calling actual Puerto Ricans garbage, but that he was calling all Latinos garbage.  

And now you demand people ignore what Biden said and imagine what he actually meant in order to protect him. Again, the hypocrisy is off the charts.

Not to mention all the people who have clearly stated that Trump heard (and must have approved) of every word the comedian said while on the stage while Trump was backstage getting ready to go on himself. They can offer no proof, they just 'know it'.

This is exactly what Bezos was talking about in his op-ed explaining how the media has lost Americans trust. 

The ‘garbage’ contretemps is a perfect distillation of why media trust is catastrophically low. These people spent DAYS hyperventilating about a Trump rally pre-show warm-up act insult comic making bad jokes, particularly one about Puerto Rico being a garbage island. They turned it into the LEAD STORY in the country. They insisted it was important, was moving votes, was emblematic of their already-hot ‘Nazi/Fascist’ narrative.

Then the sitting President of the United States called the supporters his party’s opposition “garbage” — clear as day, on video — and the EXACT SAME ‘news’ ‘professionals’ immediately heel-turned into doctoring the quote, offering up excuses, explaining why it didn’t matter, or ignoring it entirely.

It’s a laboratory pure instance of screaming, humiliating, self-discrediting bias, presented in a helpful and timely side-by-side. T hey know they’re doing it, and probably sort of hate it — but it’s just too close to an election & they are anxious that their party (D) might lose. They are the activist base of said party. So the hackery must go on. They have no choice.  and they know no other way. Result:
