“White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre faced immediate backlash Wednesday after she denied that President Biden had referred to Trump supporters as ‘garbage.’ During a virtual Harris campaign call with Voto Latino Tuesday night, Biden took a swipe at former President Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden, which made headlines after insult comedian Tony Hinchiffe made jokes mocking different ethnic groups, with one joke referring to Puerto Rico as a ‘floating island of garbage’. ‘The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,’ Biden said on the call. ‘His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American.’ ‘Just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters garbage,’ Jean-Pierre told reporters at the daily White House press briefing, reiterating the statement Biden put out to clean up his remarks.” [editor’s note: Is it or just karmic that a comedian’s dumb joke in a warm up bit, that could have hurt Trump badly, might end up costing Empty Pantsuit because her addled “boss” can’t keep his mouth shut! – SAT] (10/31/24)
