‘Garbage’ Trump supporters? Americans react to President Biden’s ‘out of
touch’ comments
Voters across the country reacted to President Biden's comments
referring to Trump supporters as 'garbage' in conversations with Fox
News Digital.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced immediate backlash
Wednesday after she denied that President Biden had referred to Trump
supporters as "garbage."
During a virtual Harris campaign call with Voto Latino Tuesday night,
Biden took a swipe at former President Trump's rally in Madison Square
Garden, which made headlines after insult comedian Tony Hinchiffe made
jokes mocking different ethnic groups, with one joke referring to Puerto
Rico as a "floating island of garbage."
"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," Biden
said on the call. "His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it
is un-American."
"Just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage,"
Jean-Pierre told reporters at the daily White House press briefing,
reiterating the statement Biden put out to clean up his remarks.

"He does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as
garbage," she said, adding that Biden has said numerous times that he is
a "president for all," including those who did not vote for him in red
states and blue states.
But commentators argued this may say more about Jean-Pierre's estimation
of the American public than Biden's actual statement.
"Breaking wind from BSNBC!" former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee wrote. "5
Alarm fire at the WH when KJP's pants catch fire in spontaneous
combustion after she claims Joe didn't really call Trump supporters
‘garbage.’ She does know that we can see the video for ourselves? That
we aren't as clueless as her boss is?"
Tarrant County GOP chairman Bo French commented, "It amazes me more
people aren't appalled by the outright lies these people tell. We
watched the video. He clearly called us garbage. I have a feeling the
swing voters are done with this kind of BS."

"JUST IN: Karine Jean-Pierre, while dressed as a piece of Laffy Taffy,
says Biden ‘was not calling Trump supporters garbage.’ … even though
it’s LITERALLY ON VIDEO Again, these people think you’re stupid,"
videojournalist Nick Sortor wrote. "Vote accordingly."
White House press reporter Anthony Hughes scorched Jean-Pierre's
response as "ridiculous."
"Man was this a gift to Trump," podcaster Matt Bilinsky quipped.

I'm not saying that there aren't real policy and performance issues from
Trump's first presidency, but I am saying that overall - perception and
presence on the world stage, the economy and financial stability of the
common citizen, not total, but high confidence with the military and
their ability...

Which is one reason the swamp (both sides of the aisle) hate Trump: if a
total political outsider can run the country better than the politically
elite career politicians, it puts their whole existence into question.

I still do not know where she stands 6 days before the election. One
thing I do remember she said, that is she will stop taxes on Social
Security, that was after Trump said he would do away with Social
Security tax. Nothing original from her.
