foxnews.com

President Biden faced backlash for calling former President Trump's supporters "garbage" during a call with Voto Latino. The White House later altered the transcript to suggest he was referring to a comedian's joke instead. Jill Biden's former press secretary criticized the White House's attempt to clarify Biden's comment as a "bonehead move." This incident follows Biden's previous remarks about the vitriol from Trump supporters. Trump responded, calling Biden's comment "terrible" and worse than Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" remark. Vice President Kamala Harris stated she disagrees with criticizing people based on their voting choices.
