One week before the elections, President Joe Biden ruined his vice president’s final argument by calling Trump supporters “garbage” and trashing American voters.

The Associated Press reports that Joe Biden, the soon-to be former president, said before the event on Tuesday that Trump supporters were “garbage”.

Biden said to reporters on Tuesday that, although he would not be attending Harris’ speech as it is “for her,” he intended to watch the event on television. Biden said, before Harris’ remarks: “The only garbage floating around is his supporters.” This was in response to a comedian who called Puerto Rico garbage during a Trump rally at the weekend.

According to NBC journalist Gabe Gutierrez Biden stated in full: “Donald Trump is a man of no character.” He doesn’t care about the Latino Community…just the other night, a speaker in his rally called Puerto Rico an island of floating garbage ?…The garbage I see out there are his supporters.”

The president was referring back to remarks made by Tony Hinchcliffe at the rally of former President Donald Trump in Madison Square Garden, where he called Puerto Rico, which is home to American citizens as a ‘floating island full of garbage.

The White House tried to retract the remarks after they became public by claiming that the President was only referring Hinchcliffe.

JD Vance – the running mate of former President Trump – condemned the remarks, calling them an attack on the half of the country.

“This is disgusting.” Kamala Harris, her boss Joe Biden and the other half of America are being attacked. This is unacceptable. I hope Americans reject it,” said JD Vance.

Trump’s supporters and surrogates condemned the remarks.
