Former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s comments that appeared to call Trump supporters “garbage” during a rally in Green Bay. Biden’s remarks came during a Latino outreach call, where he clarified that he was referring to comments made by a comedian at a Trump rally. The White House released a transcript with an apostrophe to clarify that Biden was not calling Trump supporters “garbage.” Despite this, Trump used Biden’s comments to attack him and Vice President Kamala Harris, accusing them of not loving America. Biden later posted a clarification on social media, distancing himself from comments about Puerto Rican supporters made at a Trump rally. The incident also caused Puerto Rican trap and reggaeton singer Nicky Jam to withdraw his support for Trump. The backlash from Biden’s comments gave Trump an opportunity to redirect criticism he was facing over comments made at the Madison Square Garden rally. A Trump campaign official indicated they would use Biden’s remark to target Democrats in the upcoming election. The incident overshadowed a large rally held by Kamala Harris and forced her to distance herself from Biden’s comments. The back-and-forth between the two camps highlights the tense political climate less than a week before Election Day.
