Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden for comments he made that seemed to refer to Trump supporters as “garbage.” Trump slammed Biden’s remarks and wore an orange safety vest in response. Biden’s comments were made during a Latino outreach call and were in reference to a comedian at a Trump rally who made derogatory remarks about Puerto Rico. Biden quickly clarified that he was not referring to Trump supporters as garbage, but rather criticizing the derogatory rhetoric about Latinos. Despite this, Trump used the opportunity to attack Biden and Harris at his rallies.
The comments made by Biden have given Trump a chance to shift focus away from negative press related to a recent event where crude and racist remarks were made by speakers. The controversy surrounding Biden’s comments has led to backlash from some public figures, such as Puerto Rican singer Nicky Jam, who withdrew his support for Trump.
Trump’s campaign plans to use Biden’s comments to attack Democrats in the final week before Election Day. Biden’s remarks also overshadowed a rally by Vice President Kamala Harris, who was forced to distance herself from the comments. The back-and-forth between the two camps highlights the heated rhetoric surrounding the upcoming election and underscores the importance of careful language in political discourse.
