Democrat Brendan Boyle defends Biden's comments on Trump voters in CNN exchange
Rep. Brendan Boyle, a Democrat from Pennsylvania, defended President Biden's recent comments about Trump supporters being "garbage." He argued that Biden was responding to a comedian's joke and criticized CNN anchor Kasie Hunt for suggesting it was a serious mistake. Boyle emphasized that Biden's remarks were not a general insult to Trump voters but a specific response to a comedian's offensive comment about Puerto Rico. He described the rally where the joke was made as a "festival of hate." The exchange highlighted differing views on Biden's comments, with Boyle asserting that they were taken out of context. He also noted that Biden's approach contrasts with Trump's rhetoric, suggesting it resonates with some suburban Republicans.
