Here's the latest attempt from wingnut land, aided and abetted by the likes of Axios and Chris Cillizza, to deflect from Trump's racist hate-fest in Madison Square Garden.

Apparently Joe Biden did an interview with VotoLatino this week, and look at this garbage reporting from Axios where they pretend the White House's correction of Biden's quote might not be accurate or is up for debate: Biden sets off election firestorm with "garbage" comment:


President Biden handed ammo to gleeful Republicans Tuesday night when he seemed to refer to former President Trump's supporters as "garbage."

Why it matters: Operatives in both parties instantly viewed the remark as a flashback to Hillary Clinton's 2016 blunder when she referred to Trump supporters as a "basket of deplorables" — which fired up outraged Republicans.

  • The comment came in a video call with the progressive group Voto Latino when Biden wanted to respond to a comedian calling Puerto Rico an "island of garbage" at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday.

Driving the news: On the call, Biden said: "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American."

  • The White House argued that Biden was only referring to the comedian in his comments and sent a transcript in which Biden says: "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's."
  • Asked if they had spoken to the president to ask him what he meant before sending the transcript, the Biden spokesperson requested to go off the record. Axios declined and the White House did not respond further.
  • After this story was published, the spokesperson told Axios that staff did speak to Biden about what he meant to say to inform the transcript. Axios asked for more details and the White House declined.

Unless you ignore what Biden said in the second half of the quote... that "his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American," you're either completely daft or a liar if you want to pretend he did not mean the man trashing Puerto Rico at the hate-fest with those comments.

The ones handing ammo to Republicans are the reporters and editors at Axios with this godawful article, which, of course, was picked up by just about every single blog or pretend to be "news" outlet on the right.

And the likes of Chris Cillizza, who posted this:


Biden's verbal gaffe (if that's what it was) is an absolute nightmare for Harris campaign.
This is getting more attention than Harris' closing argument speech. https://t.co/WKYnn5HHMB

Which of course also leads to Fox jumping on the bandwagon, where you've got Jesse Watters, right-wing hate talker Dana Loesch and Shark Tank winger Kevin O'Leary taking Biden out of context and leaving out the second half of the clip, and using it as an excuse to call Biden senile and pretend he wants to sabotage Harris' campaign.

Biden did not call "half the country garbage." This is not the next "deplorables" moment. Harris does not need to "repudiate" anything that Biden said. She needs to tell anyone misquoting him to play the rest of the clip and simply say he was obviously talking about the guy who called Puerto Rico garbage, and if you quit taking him out of context, that should be obvious.

They're desperate right now to deflect from the fact that Trump shit the bed with that Nazi hate-fest in Madison Square Garden. It would be nice if outlets like Axios would quit aiding and abetting them. Fox already lies about Harris and Biden all day every day while covering for Trump. Shame on Axios for giving them more material to try to legitimize those lies.

How many people here have heard the whole clip?  I have and this article is right. Just after Biden says "supporter's" he hesitates and gets tongue tied for a couple seconds, then when he completes the sentence it becomes obvious that he wasnt talking about all Trump supporters , but rather he was talking about the comedians "joke".

Once again the media is helping the right spread misleading bs.

Hey, it's all they have.  Lies, BS, and fear mongering.  God help them if they are ever required to talk policies.

Not all. 

Some, yes. 

I suppose it depends what you mean by garbage when the word is applied to people though.

Only the hardcore of the left is still clinging to this idiocy.

 The rest have moved onto But Trump, or he has a stutter!  Mainstream Democrats like Shapiro immediately understood and denounced his comments.  Even CBS cooked Walz this morning over it. 

 No one, outside of sites fringe sites  like crooks and liars is clinging to the "he didn't say it" bs.  Similarly, these were the sites who called the unedited videos of Biden freezing, or needing to helped off stage by Obama, deepfakes.    They have no problem telling people to ignore their own senses.

The sentence structure as seen on both the full video and the transcript shows he wasnt trying to call all Trump supporters garbage. The very next word that comes out of Bidens mouth after "supporter's" is "his".  the word "his" is connected to the word "supporter's" in that they refer to the same person. This is very obvious, but these days people get away with interpreting things however they like.

Lol.  he's only attacking the supporters of the comedian? It's two separate sentences John. It's clear as a bell when you listen to it. 

No one believes your spin John.  Its Biden is sharp as a tack all over again.

What say you Sean, should everyone vote for Harris because we have actual proof that Trump called his political opposition human scum ?

Again, you miss the point. A comedian calling an island garbage was used to justify claiming Trump was calling all  Latinos garbage. The hysterics, the shrieks of Nazi, Nazi, Nazi etc call because of a comedian's  joke democrats intentionally misinterpreted to make it sound like the comedian attacked people rather than the island itself. 

And then when the actual President calls actual Americans garbage you pivot to "But Trump!" 

YOu complain about normalizing Trump. But every time Harris or Biden messes up, you use Trump to as your justification. "Trump does it too!"  It might be true. But all you are doing, day after day, is normalizing Trump when you, yourself, use Trump as the standard of acceptable behavior.

SO until you ever decide to hold Harris to a standard higher than Trump, it's silly for you, or anyone else who does the same "But Trump" schtick, to pretend that Trump isn't shouldn't  be President or "normalized" because of his character problems. .

You have nothing, but endlessly try to make it into something. 

If Trump is so bad, why dont you tell everyone not to vote for him, in plain English?

Because Harris would be worse for the country.

Imagine training to attach an apostrophe to something spoken, not written.

They own it and no silly screed called "crooks & liars" is going to change anything.

Whatever he meant, it’s sickening to watch MAGA be offended by this. Trump says exactly what Biden is being accused of - plus far worse - every day, and they don’t give a shit.
