Rapid Fire

The White House is scrambling to cover for President Joe Biden’s tactless remarks in which he called former President Donald Trump’s supporters or over half the country— “garbage.”

The White House is scrambling to cover for President Joe Biden’s tactless remarks in which he called former President Donald Trump’s supporters — that’s half the country at least — “garbage.”

While on a Zoom call with Voto Latino President and co-founder Maria Theresa Kumar on Tuesday evening, Biden addressed Trump’s massive rally that took place on Sunday at Madison Square Garden in New York City.

The president decided to hop on the bandwagon in feigning outrage over a joke comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made about Puerto Rico as a “floating island of garbage.”

Biden took the language used by Hinchcliffe to insult Americans who back Trump.

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said.

In the White House transcript of the call, an apostrophe can now be found in the statement, making it read as follows: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s.”

The implication is that Biden was referring to Hinchcliffe’s words — not to Trump voters. It’s an interpretation that doesn’t pass the smell test.

There were plenty of other social media users who weren’t fooled by the apostrophe trick.

How does anyone hear what Biden says in the clip above and determine he isn’t doing anything but calling Trump supporters “garbage?”

The White House version doesn’t make sense in any “context” to quote Lemire.

It’s as simple as what can be heard – Trump supporters are garbage. That’s what Biden said. It’s what he meant.
