Biden Sparks Outrage with Comments on Trump Rally Jokes

Last week, President Joe Biden created a storm of controversy when he responded to offensive jokes at a Donald Trump rally. The comedian, Tony Hinchcliffe, made racist remarks about Puerto Rico and other communities during the event. Biden addressed these comments during a video call for Latino voter outreach, saying, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. " This sparked a backlash from Republicans, who accused Biden of insulting Trump's supporters. The White House quickly tried to clarify Biden's remarks, explaining that he was criticizing the hateful rhetoric at the rally and not the supporters themselves. Meanwhile, the controversy shifted attention from Vice President Kamala Harris's major speech, which was meant to focus on unity and new leadership. Republicans used Biden's remarks to criticize Harris's message, highlighting the ongoing political divide.
