Following outrage at Biden for appearing to call Trump supporters “garbage,” comments made by Trump in September are recirculating.
A video of Donald Trump calling people close to Kamala Harris “garbage” has resurfaced after Trump criticized Joe Biden for using the same word against Trump supporters.
The clip was posted on X, formerly Twitter, by the anti-Trump conservative group The Lincoln Project. It shows a portion of Trump’s rally in Mosinee, Wisconsin, on September 7.
Trump discussed the possibility of Harris winning the presidency, and went on to say, “It’s not her, it’s the people that surround her. They’re scum. They are scum, and they want to take down our country. They are absolute garbage.”
It comes after Trump called out Joe Biden for appearing to refer to some Trump supporters as “garbage.”
The Lincoln Project’s post on Wednesday of Trump’s prior remarks about people surrounding Harris gained traction, receiving over 4 million views and 22,000 likes.
Influencer Leigh McGowan appeared on CNN and also brought up his comments, saying, “I think it’s weird that we’re asking Kamala to answer for what Joe Biden said, but we’re not asking Trump to answer for what Trump said.
