<p>While Vice President Kamala Harris was giving her closing campaign speech in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday, President Joe Biden called former President Donald Trump’s supporters “<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-declares-trump-supporters-are-garbage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">garbage</a>.”</p>
<p>Following Biden’s comments, CNN anchor Kaitlin Collins <a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/10/30/politics/video/josh-shapiro-biden-trump-supporters-remark-digvid" target="_blank" rel="noopener">asked</a> Pennsylvania Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, who was passed over for Harris’ VP candidate, for his response to Biden’s remarks.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had not heard that until now, Kaitlin, so I&#8217;m kind of giving you my fresh reaction to it,&#8221; Shapiro said after Collins played the clip. &#8220;I would never insult the good people of Pennsylvania or any Americans even if they chose to support a candidate that I didn’t support.&#8221;</p>
<p>Collins then asked if Biden needed to clarify his comment, to which Shapiro replied: &#8220;Well, I think President Biden will decide what he wants to say. It&#8217;s certainly not words that I would choose, and I think it&#8217;s important that we remain focused on the contrast between Kamala Harris and Donald Trump and not attacking supporters of either candidate.&#8221;</p>
<p>Biden did <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-lies-to-explain-why-he-called-trump-supporters-garbage" target="_blank" rel="noopener">attempt to clarify</a> his comments, claiming he was only referring to an insult comedian who made a joke at a Trump rally in New York.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.amiracist.com/?_gl=1*jtghwp*_gcl_au*ODQ1NjYzNTg2LjE3Mjg5MDk3OTE.*_ga*MTc2NzM0NDQ2NS4xNzI4OTA5Nzkx*_ga_CZKR9ZYKJP*MTczMDEyMDgwOS40OS4xLjE3MzAxMjA4MzkuMzAuMC4w" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>MATT WALSH’S ‘AM I RACIST?’ NOW STREAMING ON DAILYWIRE+</strong></a></p>
<p>“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 <a href="https://x.com/JoeBiden/status/1851436643498037614">said</a> on X. “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable.”</p>
<p>“That’s all I meant to say,” he continued. “The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”</p>
<p>Biden’s original statement, however, clearly referred to Trump supporters in the plural. Biden made his comments during a campaign call Tuesday night, saying, “Donald Trump has no character” and “He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community.”</p>
<p>“Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage,” Biden continued, referring to a joke made by a comedian at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally over the weekend.</p>
<p>“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.”</p>
<p>After Biden made the remarks, leftist media outlets immediately began to insist that Biden did not say what everyone heard him say. The White House even released a <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-room/speeches-remarks/2024/10/29/remarks-by-president-biden-on-a-campaign-call/">transcript</a> that added an apostrophe to Biden’s comments in an attempt to change the meaning of Biden’s statement.</p>
<p>&#8220;And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage,’” Biden said, according to the official White House transcript. “Well, let me tell you something. I don&#8217;t — I — I don&#8217;t know the Puerto Rican that — that I know — or a Puerto Rico, where I&#8217;m fr— in my home state of Delaware, they&#8217;re good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter&#8217;s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it&#8217;s un-American. It&#8217;s totally contrary to everything we&#8217;ve done, everything we&#8217;ve been.&#8221;</p>
<p>Yet, watching the video, viewers can clearly see that Biden began a new thought after saying “supporters,” despite what the transcript claims.</p>
<p>Media outlets also attempted to downplay the significance of Biden&#8217;s remarks, with some saying they didn&#8217;t matter because Biden isn&#8217;t running for president. This comes after the media has spent three days complaining about a comedian&#8217;s remarks at a Trump rally.</p>
