Republicans react to Biden's use of 'garbage' in remarks on Latino rhetoric

dailykos.com

Donald Trump and the Republican Party are expressing offense over President Joe Biden's use of the word "garbage" during a recent video call. Biden referred to hateful rhetoric against Latinos as "garbage," but Republicans claim he insulted Trump supporters. At a rally, Senator Marco Rubio misquoted Biden, saying he called Trump supporters "garbage." Trump mocked Biden's speech, suggesting he did not understand his own words. This comes after Trump previously described a rally where a speaker insulted Puerto Rico as a "lovefest." Republicans are using Biden's comments to shift focus from the controversy surrounding the Trump rally. Some media outlets are also framing Biden's remarks in a way that aligns with Republican narratives, despite Biden's clear context.
