When Joe Biden speaks these days, it seems to either be something offensive or incoherent, and his recent remarks about millions of President Donald Trump’s supporters clearly falls with the former category.
His remarks were in response to an out-of-context remark at a recent Trump rally by Tony Hinchcliffe, a comic known for his roast performances.
As Fox News reported:
“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.”
“Garbage” and “supporters” are the two words everyone latched onto after it was said. And it’s kept the Harris campaign to no words, just six days before the 2024 presidential election.
Fox News Digital reached out to the Harris campaign for comment. Harris responded to the Sunday afternoon comments by Hinchcliffe within several hours, with a 9:53 p.m. tweet.
Furthermore, none of the top Democrats have openly spoken about Biden’s comments. Those who were openly defiant against Trump after Hinchcliffe’s comment at the rally have been mum since Biden made his remark.
Biden received swift backlash for his disparaging remarks:
🚨INFORMATION WAR: The White House is frantically trying to cover-up that Joe Biden called half of America “garbage.” But it’s on tape.
I’ve transcribed and slowed down Biden’s comments. You can *clearly* hear Joe call 100 million Americans “garbage”
This happened.

The Biden administration and its media surrogates seemed to quickly begin engaging in a multifaceted cleanup effort:
YouTube/Google is censoring Joe Biden's calling Americans garbage. Even if you fully type the phrase, there are no results.
Then, if you search, you will find zero results for Biden calling Americans garbage.

HOLY SHLIT.
Politico just added an apostrophe to the quote, making it seem like Biden is just labelling one supporter as garbage.
This is literal state propaganda. pic.twitter.com/zBYySuZcvw

One CNN panelist even claimed Biden’s supposed lifelong stutter was the cause:
NEW: CNN panelist says Biden called half the country "Garbage" because he has a stutter, gets torched by CNN's Scott Jennings.
"Biden has a stutter" is the pivot. Remarkable.
Franklin Leonard: Biden's not the most fluid speaker. He had a stutter growing up.

Both Biden and Trump have since reacted, as CNN reported:
“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 posted on X later that evening. “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.”
When CNN asked for an explanation on the president’s comments, a White House spokesperson insisted that Biden had meant “supporter’s” rather than “supporters,” arguing that he had actually said this: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”
“The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as garbage,” White House spokesman Andrew Bates said.
Trump was informed of Biden’s remarks during his rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, when Florida Sen. Marco Rubio ran on stage, saying, “You might not have heard this. Just moments ago. Joe Biden stated that our supporters are garbage.”
Trump said, “Wow. That’s terrible. That’s what it says. That’s what it says. So you have, remember Hillary, she said ‘deplorable’ and then she said irredeemable, right? But she said deplorable, that didn’t work out. Garbage I think is worse, right?”
Here’s a clip of Trump’s remarks:
