Former President Donald Trump launched into a scathing critique of President Joe Biden during a rally in Wisconsin, where he accused Biden of referring to his supporters as 'garbage.' Trump's remarks came in response to comments made by Biden during a campaign call the previous night.
Trump, donning a bright orange and yellow safety vest, stood in front of a Trump-branded garbage truck as he addressed the crowd in Green Bay. He asserted that his supporters were of higher quality than Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris, emphasizing that one cannot lead America without loving Americans.
Biden's comments were reportedly made during a Voto Latino get out-the-vote call, where he appeared to make disparaging remarks about Trump's supporters. In response, Harris distanced herself from Biden's remarks, stating her strong disagreement with criticizing individuals based on their political affiliations.
The Trump campaign swiftly capitalized on Biden's comments, with a fundraising text highlighting Harris' perceived silence on the issue. The fundraising appeal painted the Biden-Harris administration as looking down on Americans and urged supporters to demonstrate their power at the polls on November 5.
The exchange underscores the ongoing political tensions between the Trump and Biden camps, with both sides engaging in heated rhetoric as the 2022 midterm elections draw closer.
