In Green Bay, former President Donald Trump criticized President Joe Biden’s comments that appeared to call Trump supporters “garbage.” This came after a comedian at a Trump rally made derogatory comments about Puerto Rico, leading Biden to condemn the remarks. The White House clarified that Biden was not calling Trump supporters garbage and that he was referencing the hateful rhetoric at the rally. Trump distanced himself from the comedian and tried to downplay the controversy. The comments have led to political consequences, with Puerto Rican singer Nicky Jam withdrawing his support for Trump. The incident has given Trump an opportunity to criticize Democrats, similar to when Hillary Clinton labeled some of Trump’s supporters “deplorables” in 2016. Trump’s campaign plans to use Biden’s remarks to their advantage. Meanwhile, Vice President Kamala Harris had to distance herself from Biden’s comments, stating her disagreement with criticizing people based on who they vote for. This controversy comes at a crucial time, less than a week before Election Day, overshadowing campaign events and highlights the heated race-based rhetoric in the political landscape.
