The White House has tried to cover-up Joe Biden calling Donald Trump supporters “garbage” by doctoring the transcript of his remarks in a gaffe reminiscent of Hillary Clinton’s “deplorables” jibe. The Mail has more.
The President was speaking to a Latino advocacy group when he made the gaffe that drew instant comparisons to Hillary Clinton’s infamous dismissal of Trump voters as “deplorables” in 2016.
“Just the other day, a speaker at [Trump’s] rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage’,” Biden, 81, told a Latino advocacy group.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters, his demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”
In a desperate attempt to clean up the President’s mess, a White House spokesman issued a damage-control statement that added an apostrophe to the word “supporter’s” to imply that Biden was only referring to one person – comedian Tony Hinchcliffe who made a joke about Puerto Rico being an “island of garbage”.
But Biden’s gaffe sparked immediate fury from MAGA fans, with Trump himself saying he thought it was “worse” than Clinton’s now-infamous 2016 rant.
Biden said in a cleanup statement: “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 demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”
However, people on both sides of the aisle were either perplexed or outraged with the President’s statement.

Wow, people power actually sometimes works. This is at least some good news in the latest update on Tommy’s situation;
”ADMIN POST.
Important update.
Tommy has just been in touch again, and he’d like to thank each and everyone of his supporters, because following the news he wouldn’t be protected in Belmarsh maximum security prison, and any visits would be closed.
A huge number of people contacted the prison and prison authorities to demand to know why he was being treated like this.
And in the wake of this pressure, governors have been to see him today, to tell him he will be protected in the contingency suite that he was kept in last time, and he’ll be allocated 8 visits a month”

Many thanks Mogs.
The madleft – the people who preen and pose as the “morally superior” – just have to hate. Hate is their lifeblood. Without their all-consuming hate their lives would be utterly empty. And hate is all they have. No wonder they have to define everyone else’s opinions as “hate”.
Because they hate democracy they therefore hate Twitter. Free speech must be censored at all costs. How underhand is this though? They’re like Bond movie villains at this point. Desperate to cling on to power by whatever shady means possible;
”Just In: According to The Federalist, Kamala Harris campaign was caught manipulating the community notes to spread left-wing propaganda on X.”

I belive its called social projection
Where a person accuses another of the very act or behaviour that they do themselves, like for instance the Democrats accusing Republicans of being fascist
The Trumpers are apparently:
Garbage, Deplorable, Fascist, Racist, White Supremacist, Stupid, anti-Science, Crackers, KKK members and Nazis.
This is what passes for intelligent political debate today by the cult of unDemocrats who profess tolerance, diversity, equality and inclusion.
Biden gave a speech in Philly where in front of Nazi Red and Black colouring he declared half of America to be enemies of the state. His regime has attacked, jailed, censored, bankrupted and vilified their opponents. They tried to shoot Drumpf. They still have the White House surrounded by fencing and guards. Yet this election thieving, war mongering, corrupt, money laundering, child sniffer calls Trump supporters ‘garbage’. What is he then?
The US has a cancer – it is the unDemocrats, the CIA, the massive deep state, the fake news and most of education.
The Biden family are a bunch of lying, manipulative criminals. Well, that goes for all of the Demtards, obviously. They hate Americans and prefer illegal migrants. Literally the only thing Harris has in her arsenal in any interview I’ve had the misfortune to see a clip of is slagging Trump off. Nasty, spiteful, treacherous, antidemocratic people;
”@JudiciaryGOP
report set to be released appears to show Facebook infamously censored the Hunter Biden laptop story before the 2020 election out of fear of retaliation by an incoming Biden-Harris administration.
The forthcoming Judiciary Committee report was obtained and reported by independent journalist Breanna Morrello;
.
“Obviously, our calls on this could colour the way an incoming Biden administration views us more than almost anything else…” said Facebook’s then-VP of Global Affairs Nick Clegg in an internal message.
A Microsoft employee added, “FBI tipped us all off last week that this Burisma story was likely to emerge,” according to the report.
Shortly thereafter, the New York Post published the Hunter Biden laptop story. The U.S. intelligence community, despite having the laptop in its possession for over a year, would lie to the American people and call it likely “Russian disinformation.”
The explicit purpose of the lie, as shown by the correspondence of former acting CIA director Mike Morrell, was to help the Biden campaign ahead of the presidential debate.
Facebook nonetheless censored the legitimate news indicating the Hunter Biden laptop — and therefore the crimes it revealed directly impacting national security — was indeed, real.
Big Tech and the intelligence community thus conspired together to interfere in the 2020 election. They haven’t looked back since.”

Here’s what Trump has to say about the dastardly duo;
”While I am running a campaign of positive solutions to save America, Kamala Harris is running a campaign of hate. She has spent all week comparing her political opponents to the most evil mass murderers in history. Now, on top of everything, Joe Biden calls our supporters “garbage.” You can’t lead America if you don’t love the American People. Kamala Harris and Joe Biden have shown they are both unfit to be President of the United States.
I am proud to lead the biggest, broadest, and most important political coalition in American history. We are welcoming historic numbers of Latinos, African Americans, Asian Americans, and citizens of every race, religion, color, and creed. It is my desire to be the President of all the people.”

As usual you are on form this evening. The hate filled Libtards and Lefty A***holes in this country mirror 100% the unDemocrats across the pond. Both groups deceits and lies are off the scale.
Context: “The Puerto Rico trash problem has been growing for decades. With a population of around 3.2 million, the island generates about 3.7 million tons of waste yearly. Despite being small, the island’s landfills are full and there’s no proper recycling infrastructure. This trash crisis affects everything from health to the economy so solutions are crucial for Puerto Rico’s future.”
The joke – not a very funny one – was about this situation, not about the Puerto Ricans per se. Calling his joke “racist” – well, everything is these days, and when everything is, nothing is.
The D in Democrat is D for Desparate. The whole campaign has been dominated by mud-slinging at Trump and his MAGAs, but nothing challenging his policy proposals or record when in Office, and absolutely nothing about Harris’s proposed policies – does she have any? – just lots of word salads being tossed about, and her being middle class and ordinary and joyful.
As one commentator said, if she were an animal she’d be a duck-billed platitude.
thank you i didn’t know the background it makes total sense and total sense that this is the first iv’e read about the reason.i’m all for trump and kennedy!
Seems like a lot of palaver over nothing to me. I don’t know is this sort of thing important. We know Biden is demented. And we know that this is vastly out of context and we also know what the ruling class thinks of the plebs. You don’t walk into a dementia home and expect to be blown away by the sharp quick-wittedness of the residents. You could argue that a person with dementia shouldn’t really be president but this is the beauty of democracy. It doesn’t matter how demented you are and very often it helps.
Oh dear they don’t like us do they?
Too late. Trump’s donned a Hi-Vis, climbed on a garbage truck and told 250 million Americans that President Biden called them garbage.
