President Joe Biden’s remark describing Trump supporters as “garbage” is being met with a rancid response.
During a telephone rally on Tuesday night, Biden said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters.” Democrats and Republicans alike have condemned the comment and Vice President Kamala Harris is attempting to distance herself from his choice of words.
Alabama Congressman Dale Strong says Biden doesn’t have to look far to see real garbage.
“If working Americans wonder how liberal elites view them, look no further than Biden’s comments last night,” U.S. Rep. Strong (R-Monrovia) said.
“I’ll tell you what garbage is: it’s passing spending policies that threw the country into decades-high inflation, giving the drug cartel free rein over our southern border, weaponizing our justice system against its political enemies, and forcing woke ideologies on a silent majority.”
Former President Trump compared Biden’s remark to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 “basket of deplorables” comment, which stuck to voters’ minds as they cast their ballots. But, Trump characterized Biden’s words as “worse” than Clinton.
“That didn’t work out. ‘Garbage,’ I think, is worse. But he doesn’t know—you have to please forgive him. Please forgive him,” Trump said at a campaign rally the same night Biden made the comment. “For he not knoweth what he said.”
