Establishment Media Immediately Try to Spin Away Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Smear
Breitbart ^ | 10/30/2024 | Wendell Husebø

The establishment media immediately tried to reframe and explain away President Joe Biden’s labeling of Trump supporters “garbage.”

“There’s no way to spin it: Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don’t just hate President Trump, they despise the tens of millions of Americans who support him. Kamala does not deserve four more years,” Karoline Leavitt, Trump campaign national spokesperson, said Tuesday.

Biden was speaking on an evening call on Tuesday to rally Latino voters when he brought up a Trump rally speaker’s racist insult of Puerto Rico over the weekend.

The media, however, tried to spin it.

“Trump and His Allies Link Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Comment to 2016 ‘Deplorables’ Remark,” read the New York Times headline.

The Times‘ Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman wrote:

Within minutes of the clip of President Biden’s remarks going viral, the Trump campaign and others were using it to attack Kamala Harris and Democrats.

..

On Tuesday, it was President Biden who provided the ammunition, appearing to call Trump supporters “garbage” while talking to Latino allies by video.

The Washington Post’s headline was “White House, Trump campaign clash over whether Biden called Trump supporters ‘garbage.'”

In the Post‘s story, Patrick Svitek tried to redirect the conversation to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke that Biden cited in his “garbage” comment:

This is a time when Biden said exactly what he meant, there is no need to take it back. I work with the educated class, most of whom are far less talented than artisans, firemen, cops, garbage collectors, etc. and they think they are much smarter and more talented than they are which causes them to look down on the middle and working classes. As one wag put it, “the really intelligent people are those who know what they do not know”. Concur.

Trump did say to forgive Biden for what he said he “knoweth not what he said.” (Dies JB ever?)

“You know, he says immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of our country. Give me a break. He wants to do away with the birthright citizenship. Who the hell else said that in the last 100 years?

“And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage.” Well, let me tell you something. I don’t — I — I don’t know the Puerto Rican that — that I know — or a Puerto Rico, where I’m fr- — in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people. The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”

I think Biden used “is”, which is singular and would be compatible with “supporter’s”.

Judge for yourself:

If Biden used ‘are’, then it would imply the plural ‘supporters’.

Another way of looking at Biden’s verbal output:

“he says immigrants are “poisoning the blood” of our country...”

“He wants to do away with the birthright citizenship....”

“And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage....’”

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters”

“— his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable”

Same media trying to spin the "garbage" smear also covers up for Biden/Kamala's 325,000 missing, probably trafficked, or now dead, children.

Same media who most likely knew about P Diddy, but said nothing, which allowed even more people to become victims of his "parties". 😠

0'biden is imagining a sea of garbage, IMO. A single sea of garbage, so "is" refers to the sea (of garbage). To 0'biden, that sea of garbage is the beliefs, ideals, statements, tenets, etc., of Trump supporters.

To take that as 0'biden referring to Trump supporters as literal garbage is a completely fair accusation. My physical being is defined by my DNA, but my spiritual being is defined by my beliefs, ideals, statements, tenets, etc. To 0'biden, my spiritual being is garbage.

Biden slipped up and said the secret part out loud. But it’s not just the Trump supports that those inside the Beltway Bubble think are Gar-Bage(Johnathan Winters pronunciation) it’s anyone not in their little club of oligarchs and knaves.

Attach big labels to each garbage bag, visible from camera-distance, saying things like, “KAMALA ECONOMY” and “KAMALA BORDER POLICY” and the like.

"Thanks Joe! Please keep helping Kamala lose!"

He is still retaliating for the backstab by his party.
