Biden criticizes Trump supporters after comic's Puerto Rico insult at rally
President Joe Biden criticized Donald Trump’s supporters after a comic insulted Puerto Rico at a Trump rally. Biden called the rhetoric “garbage” and stated that it does not reflect the values of the nation. Biden's comments drew attention as they contrasted with Vice President Kamala Harris's message of unity. Some Democrats distanced themselves from Biden's remarks, recalling similar controversial comments made by Hillary Clinton in 2016. In response, Trump and his campaign highlighted Biden's remarks, framing them as an attack on everyday Americans. Trump downplayed the comic's joke, stating he was unaware of it and did not consider it significant.
