Biden responds to comedian's Puerto Rico joke with swim remark
President Biden commented on pro-Trump comedian Tony Hinchliffe's controversial joke about Puerto Rico, saying he wanted to take Hinchliffe "for a swim" during a speech in Baltimore. This remark followed Hinchliffe's comments at a Trump rally that drew criticism. Biden's comments came as he announced over $3 billion in funding for port modernization, including in Puerto Rico. His remarks echoed past jabs at Trump, highlighting ongoing tensions between the two political figures. Additionally, Biden faced backlash for calling Trump supporters "garbage" during a campaign call. He later clarified that his comments were aimed at one supporter, not all Trump supporters, amid rising criticism from Republicans.
