Trump and allies rally after Biden's 'garbage' comment about supporters
Former President Donald Trump and his supporters reacted strongly after President Joe Biden appeared to call Trump’s supporters “garbage” during a video call with Voto Latino. Biden made the remark while discussing a comedian's offensive comments about Puerto Rico. Trump's team quickly highlighted Biden's words, aiming to create a backlash similar to Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" comment in 2016. Trump described Biden's remark as "worse" than Clinton's and criticized the president's approval ratings, which are low among voters. The White House attempted to clarify Biden's comments, stating he was referring to the "hateful rhetoric" at a Trump rally. Biden later tweeted that he meant to describe the offensive remarks made by Trump’s supporters, not the supporters themselves.
