Joe Biden stepped in it, Big League.
Kamala Harris’ handlers instantly knew they had a mess on their hands.
And all hell broke loose when Joe Biden called Trump supporters one name.
Joe Biden ignites firestorm by calling Trump supporters “garbage”
The media invented a fake scandal over comedian Tony Hinchcliffe telling a joke at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.
Hinchcliffe is a comedian who made his name performing at roasts and told a joke he’d tell at a roast.
“Republicans are the party with a good sense of humor,” Hinchcliffe stated. “I don’t know if you guys know this, but there is literally a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean right now. I think it’s called Puerto Rico?”
Democrats and the media whipped up a controversy over this joke, hoping the 500,000 Puerto Ricans who lived in Pennsylvania would vote for Kamala Harris in protest.
48-hours later, Joe Biden squashed that news cycle.
On a Zoom call with Latino supporters, Joe Biden described the half of the country who supports Donald Trump as “garbage.”
“And 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– I don’t know the Puerto Rican that– that I know– or a Puerto Rico, where I’m from– in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people,” Biden began.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters– his– his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been,” Biden added.

Joe Biden tries to clean up his mess
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris’ handlers instantly knew Biden created a huge problem.
Democrats immediately experienced PTSD to back in 2016 when Hillary Clinton smeared Trump supporters as “deplorables.”
Biden’s staff attempted to clarify his comments in a post on X that didn’t make any sense by falsely claiming he was only referring to Trump’s supporters at his Madison Square Garden rally.
“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 comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation,” Biden.
But Biden’s remarks were captured on video.
It was clear that the “his” Biden referred to were Trump supporters.
Trump’s running mate, J.D. Vance, slammed Biden, saying Americans who suffered the consequences of Biden’s failures who wanted change were “garbage.”
“A mother mourning her son who died of a fentanyl overdose is not garbage. A truck driver who can’t afford rising diesel prices is not garbage. A father who wants to afford groceries is not garbage. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden ought to be ashamed of themselves,” Vance stated.
Joe Biden committed the classic Michael Kinsey definition of a gaffe – he told the truth about what he really thinks when he wasn’t supposed to.
Biden and the Democrats despise Trump supporters, and Biden finally gave voice to those feelings.
