White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre clarified President Biden's recent remarks, stating that his comments calling supporters of former President Trump 'garbage' were taken out of context. The remark has sparked controversy and drawn comparisons to Hillary Clinton's 'deplorables' comment during the 2016 presidential campaign.
During a virtual campaign call with Voto Latino, Biden criticized Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden, where a comedian made derogatory jokes about various ethnic groups, including Puerto Ricans. Biden's statement, 'The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,' was in reference to the comedian's remarks and not aimed at Trump supporters directly.
