US 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."

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.

Trump's running mate J.D. Vance called Biden's comments "disgusting," adding that "Kamala Harris and her boss Joe Biden are attacking half of the country. There's no excuse for this. I hope Americans reject it."

• As the political fallout intensified by the minute, Biden posted on X: "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 Trump team has already started to fundraise off the remark, sending out an email with the subject line: "You are not garbage! I love you! You are the best our nation has to offer."

Zoom out: Biden's comments are the latest example of why Kamala Harris' team has been avoiding campaigning with him.

• Biden is both unpopular and undisciplined, Harris aides told Axios.
• Harris delivered her "closing argument" speech Tuesday night in front of the White House but Biden did not appear alongside her despite being in Washington.
• Harris' aides were frustrated last week too when Biden went to New Hampshire and said "we gotta lock [Trump] up."
• He quickly clarified that he meant lock up Trump "politically," but it attracted headlines the Harris team wanted to avoid.

President #47

I wonder if he'll take off his toupee to reveal he's just as bald as Agent 47, and then all sorts of people start suffering unexplained accidents. Its already happened before, after all. Sadly my attachment refuses to thumbnail, the "Insert" option not even appearing.

Fuck Latinos and fuck garbage.

Total shartynigger disposal.

Elon Musk was an illegal immigrant oh snap!

Technically not true either. No one is accusing him of being an illegal alien as far as I can see, he is accused of coming to america legally with a proper visa and then he is allegedly violated the conditions of the visa. But he never entered the country illegally so the term is incorrect.

Anyway, me personally I would like Kamala to win and the number if illegals crossing the southern border to set new records every year.
Can we have 10 million crossings in 2025, 20 million crossings in 2026 and say 50 million crossings in 2027?
The more the better because america must be destroyed. Kamala 2024. It is her turn. And she is the least capable to form any kind of resistance against the emerging BRICS world hedgeomy.
(Imagine the Kackler trying to negotiate something with a foreign leader? She will get the UK to turn their nukes against america. lol)

Biden sets off election firestorm with "garbage" comment

Dear americans:

Spoiler

cum

 

[The Mass Shooter Ron Soye]

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."

The silent apostrophe heard around the world.

 

[OrionBalls]

Wasn't he referring to the comedian's supporters?

 

[Super-Chevy454]

Looks who's talking, from a guy who have a bad habit to sniff young girls hairs. Biden will never have the guts to look himself in the mirror because he's a piece of crap.

 

[Golden Apple]

If he meant the comedian he should have said his name "Mr.fuckidon'trememberandamlazy". Or said "the comedian". He speaks about trump then says his supporter (')s which is at best not clear, and at worst Joe speaking his mind. Or what's left of it.

My grandpa died of complications of dementia caused by micro strokes and joe gives me that vibe. It's only a matter of time before he messes in the bathroom so bad Jill sends him off to a home to let nature take its course.

 

[High-Fructose Corn Syrup]

The thing all Amerimutts are garbage. So he partially right, he just forgot to mention the Harris supporters as well.

 

[Tepes Thot]

he messes in the bathroom

It’s too generous to assume he’ll make it there before the mess occurs.

 

[WonderWino]

Wait a minute...it all makes sense now, all the insane comments, creepy behavior and feminist rhetoric - he was really anita sarkeesian wearing a biden skinsuit the whole time

 

[God's drunkest driver]

Yay the party who screeches about "dehumanizing rhetoric" once again uses "dehumanizing rhetoric" against people who they don't like

 

[Product Placement]

Wonder if Biden has any self awareness left, or did a member of staff have to explain his latest fuck up to him and why it was bad?

 

[JosephStalin]

The timing was great, for President Trump. Biden has pissed off a lot of people, not just Trump supporters but some undecided, just a week before the election. That isn't enough tine for people to forget what was said. and this has gone viral.

 

[TowinKarz]

This is a bit of a stretch, trying to decipher Official Presidential Word Salad, and is probably nothing but poor grammar.

But, the rules the Left want us to play by enforce a STRICT penalty on this kind of "mistake" so, have at him, boys.....

The "nothing but losers" and "very fine people" sword is double-edged, my friends.

 

[Dante Alighieri]

The thing all Amerimutts are garbage. So he partially right, he just forgot to mention the Harris supporters as well.

Silence, europoor

The European is insulated against many insults. Call him a fag and a loser and it runs off him like water off of a duck's back. But remind him of his impoverished, bereft existence, and he recoils back in horror, as if struck. "Oh no, my moral superiority is worthless!" he cries out.
