Biden criticizes Trump supporters after comedian's controversial joke about Puerto Rico
tmz.com —
President Joe Biden criticized former President Donald Trump and his supporters on Tuesday after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made a controversial joke about Puerto Rico. Biden called Trump lacking character and expressed concern for the Latino community. A White House spokesman later clarified that Biden's remarks were directed at Hinchcliffe, not all of Trump's supporters. Hinchcliffe made his comments during a Trump rally in New York City over the weekend. Trump's campaign responded to Biden's comments, comparing them to Hillary Clinton's "basket of deplorables" remark from 2016. They accused Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris of harboring negative feelings toward Americans.
