President Joe Biden lied on Tuesday night while trying to explain why he called tens of millions of Americans who support former President Donald Trump “garbage.”

“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,” Biden claimed in a post on X. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.”

“That’s all I meant to say,” he continued. “The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”

However, Biden’s claims are false because that is not what Biden said when he made the remark.

During a campaign call on Tuesday night, at approximately the same time that Vice President Kamala Harris delivered her final remarks to voters, Biden called Trump supporters “garbage.”

“Donald Trump has no character,” Biden said. “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 continued, referencing remarks that were made at Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City over the weekend by an insult comedian.

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”
