Biden Calls Trump Supporters Garbage
Feigning outrage over a bad joke told at a rally by a guy whose nickname is “The Roastmaster,” Biden said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” We’ve been called a lot of things over the years:
“Bitter-Clingers.”
“Deplorables.”
“Weird.”
“Fascists.”
“Nazis.”
“Extremists".”
“MAGAts.”
“Russian Bots.”
“Garbage.”
None of this hurts our feelings like the left thinks it does. We generally laugh it off, and make memes about it. What is a problem tho, is when the media tries to run cover for Biden and outright lie about what he said.
This was how Politico covered the comments:
Politico has since edited their article, swapping out the cherry-picked mish-mash of a quote for the actual quote, but only after they got rightfully ridiculed on X.
Later, Joe Biden’s team tried to clean up the quote by claiming that Joe said “supporter’s” with an understood apostrophe, meaning only that one guy who said the thing. Uh-huh. Sure Jan.
CBS took the second half of the comment out of context to make it seem like Biden was referring to the guy who said the thing, but if you go back up and listen to the full statement, it’s clear that Biden was talking about Trump the whole time.
WaPo reported it as, “White House, Trump Campaign clash over whether Biden called Trump Supporters ‘Garbage’”
CNN’s headline was that “Biden seeks to clean up ‘garbage’ comment about Trump supporters denigrating Latinos.”
But Hinchcliffe’s joke wasn’t about the people of Puerto Rico, it was about the island itself. Does anyone remember when, in 2020, the people found a whole warehouse full of water and other supplies that the Govt failed to distribute after the 2017 Hurricane Maria? Or when, after the Hurricane, the Puerto Rican Government hired a 2-man energy company in Colorado to essentially re-wire the whole island, despite the fact that Whitefish Energy had zero experience? How about the 2022 indictment of the Former Governor of Puerto Rico for Bribery? Or the recent 2024 indictment of several Puerto Rican officials for Bribery? Maybe the recent study that showed their anti-corruption laws actually made fraud easier? And that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
At the end of the day, it was a bad joke, at the wrong time, at the wrong place. No one was “denigrating Latinos.” Maybe Joe should have listened to Dana when she said on the show, “Never set yourself up to give your opponent oppo.”
The memes tho. This is why I love Twitter X.

Biden got some nerve calling Trump supporters garbage. This man has called the highest infiltration in the history of our country and allowed our borders north south and plane flights to be overrun by the world's worst individuals and creating a true garbage dumpster. He needs to look in the mirror because he's the Garbage In Chief.
Great work - thanks - just call me Oscar
