White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced immediate backlash Wednesday after she denied that President Biden had referred to Trump supporters as « garbage. »
During a virtual Harris campaign call with Voto Latino Tuesday night, Biden took a swipe at former President Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden, which made headlines after insult comedian Tony Hinchiffe made jokes mocking different ethnic groups, with one joke referring to Puerto Rico as a « floating island of garbage. »
« The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters », Biden said on the call. « His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American.
