The View defends Biden's 'garbage' comment amid backlash over Trump supporters

Co-hosts of "The View" downplayed the backlash over President Biden's comments referring to Trump supporters as "garbage." They argued that Trump's past rhetoric was more offensive and criticized the Republican response as exaggerated. Whoopi Goldberg described Biden's remark as a "slip of the tongue," while Joy Behar noted the inconsistency in claims about Biden's mental clarity. Alyssa Farah Griffin suggested Biden's comment could negatively impact Vice President Kamala Harris's campaign. Biden made the remark during a virtual event with Voto Latino, criticizing Trump's supporters for their derogatory comments about Puerto Rico. He later clarified that he was referring to the hateful rhetoric at a recent Trump rally, not all supporters.
