A recent joke at a Donald Trump rally has caused quite a stir. A comedian made a remark about Puerto Rico that many found offensive, particularly Puerto Ricans. President Joe Biden, unhappy with the joke, called Trump's supporters “garbage” in response. He emphasized that this kind of language isn't acceptable and doesn't represent American values.
