WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden took a swipe against Donald Trump’s supporters on Tuesday as he reacted to the Republican presidential nominee’s weekend rally at Madison Square Garden, which was overshadowed by crude and racist rhetoric.

In a call organized by the Hispanic advocacy group Voto Latino, Biden responded to a comic at Trump’s rally who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” Biden’s initial comments were garbled.

“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 don’t know the Puerto Rican that I know, the Puerto Rico where I’m fr -- in my home state of Delaware. They’re good, decent honorable people,” he said.

The president then added: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”

So in the same breath he does the same thing he is condemning Trump for, except Trump didn’t actually say it

Was Tony Hinchcliffe actually referring to the people of Puerto Rico as garbage, as implied by the democrats or was he referring to this?

I said this in another thread, but I will say it again here.

95% of the people at Trump's rally wouldn't have a clue that Puerto Rico has a garbage problem—maybe even a higher percentage than that. He also made a joke about Black people carving watermelons instead of pumpkins for Halloween and a vulgar joke about how Latinos love making babies. When you put his entire act in context, it becomes clear that he wasn't talking about Puerto Rico's garbage problem when he called the country a "floating island of garbage."

No, he is not. Biden is talking about Trump's supporters.

The White House didn't provide the whole transcript of what Biden said, so to make it look like Biden was talking about Hinchcliffe.

But Biden was talking about Trump, when he then moved into this discussion about garbage.

I will post the entire Biden video below.

President Biden calls Trump supporters "garbage"​


Biden started out saying - “Donald Trump has no character." Then he finished with - "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters." Yet no outcry from the left or the msm. We truly have a double standard in America which makes it impossible for me to take the left or the msm seriously.

I just posted this in another thread. I hope it helps.

He was definitely not talking about all Trump supporters.

Before President Biden says, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's...," he said, "just the other day, a speaker at his rally he called Puerto Rico a 'floating island of garbage...'"

The speaker he is referring to in that sentence is Tony Hinchcliff.

He goes on to say "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's — his his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American."

We know President Biden is speaking about Tony Hinchcliff specifically because in that sentence he uses the pronoun "him." If President Biden was talking about all Trump supporters, he would have used the pronoun "their."

"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — their— their demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American."

It's simple grammar. The people taking his words out of context are the ones being disingenuous.

I doubt this since, they've been going on and on about Trump demonizing Latinos for 8 years. Hinchcliff has fans, not supporters. And I seriously doubt Biden even knows who Hinchcliff is. It seems pretty clear he's ranting about Trump exclusively.

You'd think they would have enough sense not to put him in front of a camera this close to the election.

They don't actually care about these issues... Their outrage is always fake, and always in the service of gaining power.

the sooner people realize this, the better.

Never ever take them seriously because they are simply looking for more ways to gain power over you.

This latest episode with Biden is just one more example of millions. They do something much worse than what they are accusing you of and then pretend like nothing even happened. Zero introspection. It's a joke.

" His supporters "are clearly Trump's supporters.
It would be highly unusual to refer to a comedian having supporters.
They would be called fans.
His supporter in that statement is Tony Hinchcliffe.

Garbage = His supporter's (Tony Hinchcliffe's) demonization of Latinos.

I mean, I doubt President Biden knows what he’s talking about, so I will forgive him.
