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.
