Trump Urges Supporters to 'Forgive' Biden After President's Controversial 'Garbage' Comment on Trump Voters

Trump Urges Supporters to 'Forgive' Biden

During a rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania, former President Trump called on his supporters to "forgive" President Biden after the current president labeled Trump supporters as "garbage." Trump criticized Biden's comments, drawing parallels to Hillary Clinton's infamous "deplorables" remark from the 2016 election, saying, "Wow. That's terrible."

Trump urged unity, stating, "Garbage, I think, is worse," and suggested that Biden might not fully grasp the impact of his words. He humorously speculated that Biden might actually prefer him over Vice President Kamala Harris, adding, "He really doesn't know. He really honestly, he doesn't."

Biden's controversial remarks came during a get-out-the-vote event for Voto Latino, where he accused Trump and his supporters of demonizing Latinos. "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," Biden said, emphasizing that such rhetoric is "unconscionable" and against American values.

He later clarified his comments on social media, asserting that he was referring specifically to the hateful rhetoric at Trump's Madison Square Garden rally. Biden stated, "That's all I meant to say," and reiterated that these comments do not reflect the nation's character.

White House spokesperson Andrew Bates confirmed that Biden was commenting on the hateful rhetoric from the rally, further defending the president's position. The exchange between Trump and Biden highlights the escalating tensions and rhetoric as the election season heats up.
