Biden Labels All Trump Supporters ‘Garbage’

He’s (ostensibly) still president, but he’s definitely not helping his sidekick win the election.

It wasn’t that long ago that Joe Biden put on a MAGA hat for a photo shoot. It was good-natured teasing with someone at a campaign stop, but the image was worth a thousand words. Biden might as well have figuratively, if ironically, put on a MAGA hat again last night by calling Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage.”

Man, is it campaign silly season, or what?

Leftist hysteria over a comedian’s bad joke about Puerto Rico at Trump’s MAGA Nazi rally Sunday at Madison Square Garden has been far funnier than the joke itself. You can criticize Trump’s campaign for having Tony Hinchcliffe tell mean jokes at a rally, but Tony Hinchcliffe tells mean jokes. It’s just what he does.

Jon Stewart thinks he’s funny, which might tell you something.

In any case, Biden joined the pitchfork mob yesterday. “Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community. … Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage,” Biden complained. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” he added before pausing and stuttering, “His— his— his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

Well, who knew that grammar would play such an important role in a presidential election?

Biden’s Apostrophe Controversy is trending on X this morning because the president explained that everyone just wrongly transcribed his grammar.

Initially, the White House said it should have read, “his supporters’ demonization.” Then, late last night, Biden posted, “Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage — which is the only word I can think of to describe it.” In other words, singular instead of plural possessive: “His supporter’s demonization.”

New York Magazine dutifully cast it as a GOP edit: “Republicans insist there was no apostrophe.”

Politico just covered it up entirely, “reporting” it this way: “Biden, in a Zoom call with the organization Voto Latino, said ‘the only garbage’ was the ‘hatred’ of Trump supporters who said such things about American citizens.”

That isn’t even close.

Decide for yourself:

The scramble is understandable. Biden’s latest gaffe was this cycle’s “bitter clingers,” its “basket of deplorables.” It was a shockingly and inexcusably offensive comment from a sitting president whose sole defense is that he was a misunderstood idiot.

“That’s terrible,” Trump told a rally crowd when Marco Rubio informed him of Biden’s remarks while on stage. “Remember Hillary?” Trump added. “She said ‘deplorable,’ and then she said ‘irredeemable,’ right? … That didn’t work out. Garbage, I think, is worse, right? But he doesn’t know, you have to please forgive him. Please forgive him, for he not knoweth what he said.”

Later, he said, “You can’t lead America if you don’t love the American People.”

Even if we give Biden the benefit of the doubt, the whole kerfuffle reinforces my belief that Biden simply doesn’t want Kamala Harris to win. The guy’s an egomaniac who’s wanted to be president for his entire adult life. He chose to run for reelection, likely against the “advice” of every Democrat within earshot. When he rejected that advice — i.e., the plan the whole time — they kicked him to the curb. He’s almost certainly insane with bitterness over the coup, and he’d like to prove that he was the only candidate who did or could beat Trump.

Biden will dutifully try to look like a team player while ensuring that he’s a lead weight for Harris.

For the record, I think the same thing of Hillary Clinton, who doesn’t want to remain the only woman to lose to Trump.

The Associated Press noted, “Biden’s tone was at odds with the message that Democratic nominee Kamala Harris is seeking to present as she aims to cast a broad appeal.”

Is it at odds, though? She spent last week calling Trump and, by inference, his supporters Nazis. Last night, she went to the spot of his January 6 speech to denounce him for having “sent an armed mob” to invade the Capitol. She called him a “petty tyrant.”

Trump sees the disconnect. “While I am running a campaign of positive solutions to save America, Kamala Harris is running a campaign of hate,” he posted. “She has spent all week comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history.”

As for Biden’s “garbage” comments, Harris was asked about it this morning. She first tried to avoid answering the question before claiming he “clarified his comments,” adding, “I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for.”

Back to Puerto Rico for a moment with a couple of closing observations.

The island’s problems with literal garbage are well documented — by the Biden-Harris administration. So there’s that.

Politically, the media is fomenting supposed outrage coming from the island toward Trump. Yet he received the endorsement of Puerto Rico shadow senator Zoraida Buxó yesterday. “We need this man back in the White House,” she said. “We need this man to be our commander-in-chief. He will make us feel safe, and he will protect us.”

The fact that virtually no mainstream media outlets are reporting Buxó’s endorsement speaks volumes.
