Biden clarifies remarks on hateful rhetoric after backlash from Trump supporters

President Joe Biden clarified his recent comments about a Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden, where he referred to hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico as "garbage." He emphasized that he was criticizing the remarks made by a comedian, not Trump supporters. Biden's initial statement drew backlash from Republicans, who interpreted it as an insult to Trump’s supporters. In response, Biden stated that his comments were aimed at the "demonization of Latinos" and did not reflect the values of the nation. The White House later released a transcript to clarify Biden's remarks, indicating he was addressing the hateful rhetoric rather than the people at the rally. Biden reiterated that the comments made at the rally were unacceptable.
