US President Joe Biden attempted to clarify comments he made during a Voto Latino event, which many interpreted as describing supporters of former President Donald Trump as “garbage.” Biden’s remarks came after a controversial statement made at Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden, where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe reportedly called Puerto Rico “a floating island of garbage.” Biden responded, saying, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” and continued by condemning what he described as Trump’s demonization of Latinos, calling it “unconscionable” and “un-American.” Later, Biden took to X (formerly Twitter) to clarify his intent, stating, “I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico as garbage,” aiming to emphasize his disapproval of the comments made at Trump’s rally. Biden added that such statements “don’t reflect who we are as a nation” and reaffirmed his support for Puerto Rican and Latino communities, who he described as “good, decent, honourable people.” US Presidential Elections 2024: Donald Trump Endorsed by Muslim, Arab-American Leaders at Campaign Rally in Novi (Watch Video).
