Senator J.D. Vance, who is known for being former President Donald Trump's 2024 running mate, stirred controversy with his recent comments about Vice President Kamala Harris. During a speech on the eve of Election Day, Vance referred to Harris as 'trash,' stating that the citizens of the country are not garbage for wanting basic necessities like groceries and housing. He went on to say that they would 'take out the trash' in Washington D.C., referring to Harris.
Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, a Democrat from New York, criticized Vance's remarks, suggesting that calling a woman 'garbage' was not a strategic political move. The controversy continued when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made a joke at a Trump rally, referring to Puerto Rico as 'a floating island of garbage.'
