The Hill reports:
President Biden sparked backlash on Tuesday when he appeared to compare supporters of former President Trump to garbage after commenting on a racist joke a comedian made at a Trump rally days earlier likening Puerto Rico to an “island of garbage.”
The White House in a statement argued that the president was referring to the rhetoric at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday as “garbage.”
“The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage,’” deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement. It also provided a fuller transcript of the comment, which included an apostrophe with “supporter’s,” to indicate Biden was referring to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s “demonization of Latinos” as “garbage.”
Read the full article. Prominent cultists and Republicans are latching on to a truncated version of the quote to make it appear that Biden was referring to all Trump supporters even though video shows his actual meaning.
Republicans are intentionally taking Biden’s comments tonight out of context. The transcript is clear: he was referring to the ‘garbage’ spewed by the racist comedian.
Shame on anyone taking this out of context. pic.twitter.com/7oTeohTbRI

Trump calls America a “garbage can” in every speech — including tonight — so spare me the pearl clutching about something Biden stammered out. If you see journalists making a fuss over this, check to see if they’ve said anything about Trump. Many of them haven’t.

Biden calls 74 million Americans “garbage” while Harris calls them “fascist.” One week from today, these Americans and more are going to re-elect Donald J. Trump so he can clean up the garbage they left behind. #ncpol pic.twitter.com/6hNEHsA2qL
