Trump rallies supporters after Biden calls them garbage during video call

thedailybeast.com

Former President Donald Trump and his supporters reacted strongly after President Joe Biden referred to Trump’s supporters as “garbage” during a video call with Voto Latino. Biden's comment was made in response to a comedian's derogatory remarks about Puerto Rico. Trump's team quickly mobilized, aiming to create a backlash similar to the one seen in 2016 after Hillary Clinton's "deplorables" comment. Trump labeled Biden's remark as worse than Clinton's and criticized the president's approval ratings, which are low. The White House attempted to clarify Biden's statement, suggesting he was addressing Trump’s rhetoric against Latinos. Biden later tweeted that he was condemning hateful speech at Trump’s rally, while his campaign has reportedly distanced itself from him due to past gaffes.
