President Joe Biden recently faced backlash for comments he made about supporters of former President Donald Trump. During a video address to Latino audiences, he referred to Trump supporters as "garbage" while condemning racist remarks made at a Trump rally. Biden's comments were in response to a speaker who insulted Puerto Rico. He emphasized that his remarks were aimed at the hateful rhetoric from Trump supporters, not the supporters themselves. The White House later clarified this point. Republican leaders criticized Biden's comments, comparing them to Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" remark from 2016. Some Democrats also expressed disapproval, stating that political differences should not lead to insults.
