Joe Biden sees Donald Trump supporters as ‘garbage’
Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe spoke at the Trump rally at Madison Square Garden. During his speech, he referenced Puerto Rico as a floating island of garbage. The reactions from the Puerto Rican community appears to be mixed on this one, but the Democrats were quick to launch their criticisms. When asked about this event, Joe Biden reportedly said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”
From Fox News:
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said on Tuesday. “[Trump’s] demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it is un-American.”
Biden tweeted later that evening, “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. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”
Walz told ABC News’ “Good Morning America” on Wednesday, “the president’s clarified his remarks, but let’s be very clear. The vice president and I have made it absolutely clear that we want everyone as a part of this. Donald Trump’s divisive rhetoric is what needs to end. He called this a garbage country and continues on from ‘the enemy within.’ What you heard Vice President Harris say and what I say is, there’s a place for all of us here, and I think that’s the one. She’s running for president. She’s making the message and she delivered that speech on the Ellipse that showed what we can be as a country. So, I think America knows the direction we’re going. She’s laid out a new way forward, and that’s what we’re going to do for the next six days and then the next eight years after that.”
Harris campaign senior adviser Stephanie Cutter told MSNBC, “The president did clarify what he was talking about, but the vice president has been clear that her campaign, her presidency is about all Americans. And, you know, when she’s president, she’s not going to care who you voted for. She’s going to fight for you regardless, and I also want to say, spare me the faux outrage from Donald Trump, JD Vance and his campaign. Even as they’re trying to argue that President Biden is disparaging Trump voters, the president is calling the entire country a trash can. You know, even at the Madison Square Garden [event], his supporters not only disparaged Puerto Rican Americans, but disparaged all Latinos. So, spare me the faux outrage.”

Time to alter the “Proud Deplorable American” sign to read “Outraged Garbage American”, stick a feather in my cap and call it macaroni.
That place is a shit hole. I stop there on cruise and was impressed with all the garbage scattered everywhere. It looked like a landfill, shit strewn about where ever you looked and that was back in 93. It must be 2’ deep by now.
I wanted to find a Great Garbage Avalanche of 2505 meme from Idiocracy and so’v’btch, I found incidents of just that thing in Philippines, Ethiopia (below), Indonesia, etc.
Coming soon to a mismanaged socialist (redundant) protectorate near you!

Puerto Rico has serious trash issues.

Ok, that was an interesting read.. the funniest part was the line “some residents are unaware of the trash problem”.. Seriously? I mean, they are democrats, so reality is probably not their strong suit, but to not realize that piles of trash lining the streets is a problem?? OOh, wait, maybe they’re deaf, blind, and have no sense of smell… That’s the only other possibility IMHO..
I’d rather be called garbage than be called a Democrat. Them’s fightin’ words.
