Biden Calls Trump Supporters “Garbage”. Then He Lies About Saying It.

Garbage-gate may be behind us by the time you read this, but it certainly did stir up the presidential campaign during its final week.

It began during Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on October 27, when a relatively unknown comic in a warm-up role told a bad joke about Puerto Rico being “a floating island of garbage in the middle of the ocean.” For two days, this dominated the news and was used by Kamala Harris to back up the usual claims of “racism” by Trump and to appeal to Latino voters.

The publicity was huge, but the impact was minimal. Trump maintained his share of the Latino vote, the largest share of any Republican in history. Then, the affair turned 180 degrees when Joe Biden offered up his own assessment.

In a video link speech to a Latino network, Biden said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” In a single sentence, Biden called Trump supporters – about half the voters in the country – garbage. The reaction dwarfed anything seen in response to the original bad joke.

Most Americans took offense and were outraged at Biden’s stupidity (although it was consistent with his mumbling and dementia we’ve see on display for years). Trump turned it into a joke by driving a garbage truck and wearing a fluorescent sanitation worker vest to a televised rally. Megan Kelly piled on by fashioning a Halloween dress out of a garbage bag. The fun continued for days with the Republicans turning lemons into lemonade with the help of Joe Biden.

Then matters took a serious turn. The White House tried to cover up Biden’s comments by altering an official transcript to say “supporter’s” rather than “supporters.” The added apostrophe made it appear that Biden was talking about a single supporter’s garbage rather than calling all Trump supporters garbage. Very few bought this explanation.

The original was on video and Biden’s body language and inflection clearly pointed to “supporters.” Then a whistleblower came forward with evidence that the official transcript had in fact been altered by the White House staff. The matter is now under investigation.

Leave it to Joe Biden to turn a political embarrassment into a criminal offense. All in keeping with the Biden Crime Family M.O.
