Biden's 'Garbage' Remark Fuels Political Controversy

News summary

A controversy erupted after President Joe Biden appeared to label Donald Trump's supporters as 'garbage' during a virtual event, sparking backlash and comparisons to Hillary Clinton's 'deplorables' remark. The White House clarified that Biden was criticizing the offensive comments made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe at a Trump rally, not the supporters themselves. Vice President Kamala Harris distanced herself from Biden's remarks, affirming her commitment to represent all Americans regardless of their political choices. Biden's comments have been seized upon by Republicans, including Trump, to criticize the Democratic Party's stance on unity and bipartisanship. Democrats are attempting to mitigate the fallout with figures like Governor Josh Shapiro and actor Jon Cryer emphasizing Biden's clarification. The incident has intensified the political discourse just days before the election, with both parties leveraging the situation to rally their respective bases.
