Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro took a swipe at President Biden’s “garbage” comment about Trump supporters, telling CNN he would “never” insult voters of another candidate.
Democratic Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro distanced himself from President Biden’s controversial remarks calling Trump supporters “garbage.”
“I had not heard that until now, Kaitlan, so I’m kind of giving you my fresh reaction to it”, Shapiro reacted to CNN’s Kaitlan Collins playing the clip of Biden’s comments on Tuesday night. “I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn’t support.”
When asked whether Biden should clarify his comment, Shapiro replied, “Well, I think President Biden will decide what he wants to say. It’s certainly not words that I would choose, and I think it’s important that we remain focused on the contrast between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and not attacking supporters of either candidate.”
The governor of the key battleground state was once considered a top contender for Vice President Kamala Harris’ running mate.
Biden did attempt to clarify his comments on social media.
