Does Harris agree?
I’ll take “Questions that the boot-licking regime media apparatchiks will never ask Harris” for $600! https://t.co/WPlbuii9sJ

And of course, the media is already spinning this - suggesting that Biden said 'Trump's supporter's' - singular, as if he was only referring to Hinchcliffe.
You do not hate the media enough.

They edit out Trump’s repudiation of white supremacists to pretend that he’s a Nazi sympathizer, and say that his comment about an auto industry bloodbath is a call to violence.
But they’ll cover for Biden by dismissing his words (which are on… https://t.co/p00CepkiUq pic.twitter.com/4PFDMHUEd6
Trump running mate JD Vance responded as well - calling out journalists trying to spin this:
"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters." That's a direct quote. That's what Kamala Harris's boss said. This is how Politico decided to report it:

Do @JonLemire @alexanderburns @politico have an ounce of integrity? Will they correct this obvious falsehood? pic.twitter.com/B1ktGVpLfz
Will the networks that obsessively covered a joke from a comedian at a Trump rally cover the fact that the Kamala Harris campaign is insulting half of the country? Will they even report honestly on this disgusting behavior from our present leadership?

Biden’s verbal gaffe (if that’s what it was) is an absolute nightmare for Harris campaign.

This is getting more attention than Harris’ closing argument speech. https://t.co/WKYnn5HHMB

You may have heard. During Donald Trump's 7-hour, celebrity-packed rally at Madison Square Garden, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage," in reference to the US territory's well known problem with overflowing landfills.
Chairman of the Republican Party of Puerto Rico Ángel Cintrón calls comedian Tony Hinchcliffe comments on Puerto Rico “unfortunate, ignorant and entirely reprehensible.”

Hinchcliffe’s called the island a “floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.” pic.twitter.com/fsf3SpOlno
The left went into absolute hysterics,
Liberal comedian Jon Stewart was the voice of reason...
Props to @JonStewart for admitting he finds @TonyHinchcliffe funny.

“I find that guy very funny. I’m sorry, I don’t know what to tell you. I mean, bringing him to a rally and having him not do roast jokes? That’d be like bringing Beyoncé to a rally and not … " pic.twitter.com/Y3ZFCnRtDb
And just when you thought the dust had settled, President Biden called 80 million Americans human garbage:
"Donald Trump has no character. He doesn't give a damn about the Latino community…just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage?…The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," reports NBC News' Gabe Gutierrez.

Update: Then he lied about it!
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. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That's all I meant to say. The…

Stay classy, Biden...
Joe Biden is calling half the country garbage while his running mate Kamala Harris is calling everyone who opposes her a fascist.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) October 30, 2024
This is not the behavior of a winning campaign. This is the behavior of a campaign that hates the voters it knows will crush Harris in a week.
These people are sick and the media is the enemy of the people! https://t.co/S0HjCHNOOy
