Joe Biden is doing a little harm management after his phrases condemning the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico at Donald Trump‘s Madison Sq. Backyard rally have been misinterpreted.
The President of the USA took to social media to make clear he didn’t name Trump supporters “rubbish,” as many have interpreted.
“Earlier as we speak I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Sq. Backyard rally as rubbish—which is the one phrase I can consider to explain it,” Biden stated in a post on X, the microblogging platform previously often called Twitter.
He continued, “His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The feedback at that rally don’t replicate who we’re as a nation.”
Following the fallout from Trump’s hateful rally at MSG, Biden took on a name by the Hispanic advocacy group Voto Latino. Throughout the name, Biden commented on comic Tony Hinchcliffe’s disgraceful “joke” referring to Puerto Rico as a “floating island of rubbish.”
“Simply the opposite day, a speaker at his rally known as Puerto Rico a floating island of rubbish. Nicely, let me let you know one thing, I don’t, I don’t know the Puerto Rican that I do know, the Puerto Rico the place I’m … in my house state of Delaware. They’re good, respectable honorable individuals,” he stated.
Biden continued, “The one rubbish I see floating out there may be his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s completely opposite to all the pieces we’ve performed, all the pieces we’ve been.”
The remark from Biden referring to Trump supporters as “rubbish” was paying homage to Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” dig from 2016 when she was operating towards Trump.
In latest rallies, Trump has repeatedly referred to America as “a rubbish can.” In a Pennsylvania look on Tuesday, October 29, whereas delivering anti-immigration remarks, Trump claimed crime in Venezuela is down “as a result of their criminals are taken into the USA of America, it’s like we’re a large rubbish can, that’s what they deal with us like.”
