President Joe Biden clarified his recent comments about a Donald Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. Initially, he described the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico as "garbage," which some interpreted as an insult to Trump supporters. Biden later explained that he was criticizing the overall rhetoric at the rally, particularly remarks made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. He emphasized that his comments were aimed at the hateful language, not the supporters themselves. Republicans quickly responded, with figures like Senator Marco Rubio and Trump condemning Biden's remarks. They argued that Biden's comments were disrespectful to everyday Americans and compared them to past controversial statements about Trump supporters.
