Biden clarifies remarks after backlash from Republicans over rally comment

US President Joe Biden faced backlash after calling the "only garbage" he saw at a rally was "his supporters," in response to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's offensive remarks about Puerto Rico. Republicans interpreted this as an insult to Trump’s base. Biden later clarified that his comments were directed at Hinchcliffe's rhetoric, not Trump supporters. He emphasized that the hateful comments about Puerto Rico do not reflect American values. In response, Trump accused Biden of disrespecting his supporters and distanced himself from Hinchcliffe's remarks. Democratic leaders also sought to clarify their stance, emphasizing respect for all voters.
