President Biden Says ‘Garbage’ Comment Directed at Rally Speaker, Not Trump Supporters
Todd Spangler NY Digital Editor President Biden appeared to call supporters of Donald Trump “garbage,” but later attempted to clarify his remark as referring specifically to the pro-Trump comedian at the Republican candidate’s New York rally who called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” In a video addressing Latino voters released Tuesday, Biden said, “Just the other day, a speaker at [Trump’s] rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage,’” referring to the offensive comment made by Tony Hinchcliffe at Trump’s Oct. 27 rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
