Kylee Griswold writes for the Federalist about Democrats’ attempts to walk back President Biden’s description of Trump supporters as “garbage.”
It’s been truly remarkable to watch Kamala Harris’ closing unity message get royally derailed by President Joe Biden’s Freudian slip about “garbage” just one week before the 2024 election wraps up. It’s been even more amazing to watch the regime’s foot soldiers lie so vociferously about the statement anyone with working ears could hear clearly on video — amazing because the CYA mission won’t work.
After insult comic Tony Hinchcliffe joked about Puerto Rico being a floating pile of trash at a recent Trump rally — among a zillion other indiscriminate zings — Democrats tried unsuccessfully to gin up a controversy about Republican racism. But that plan epically backfired when Joe Biden talked about Puerto Rico on a Zoom call and ended up calling half of Americans garbage instead.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters.”
October surprise, baby! It seems like poetic justice that Biden, who was knifed in the back by his own party to undemocratically install Kamala Harris as the Democrat nominee, was the one to deliver what could be the fatal blow to Harris’ seemingly faltering campaign.
The White House and accomplice media immediately launched into spin mode. Joe Biden’s X account said he was talking not about people, but about “hateful rhetoric.” His press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre “clarified” that when Biden said Trump supporters are garbage, “He was not calling Trump supporters garbage.” Got it. Taxpayer-funded NPR thought the most important part of POTUS demonizing half the country was that “Republicans punce[d],” and the network’s media correspondent tried really hard to hear whether Biden called Trumpers trash but concluded Robert Hur-style that the president is just “an octogenarian with a stutter.” CBS News (of election interference infamy) and The Washington Post couldn’t quite sus out the mysterious meaning of “supporters.”
