(DailyEmailNews.com) – Revealing his true contempt for Americans who oppose him, Joe Biden’s shocking comment about Trump supporters has ignited a firestorm of controversy.
During a call with a Hispanic advocacy group, Biden insulted Trump supporters, labeling them as “garbage.”
This outrageous statement came in response to a comedian’s joke about Puerto Rico at a Trump rally, but Biden’s words went far beyond criticizing a single incident.
Instead, he smeared millions of Americans who disagree with his and Kamala Harris’ liberal policies.
The White House then scrambled to contain the fallout by attempting to spin Biden’s words with a complex explanation.
However, their damage control efforts fell flat, as the truth of Biden’s disdain for millions of Americans had already been laid bare.
GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump himself weighed in on the controversy, stating, “Wow, that’s what [Biden] says… garbage. I think it’s worse [than deplorables].”
The “deplorable” remark he referred to came from failed presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who has also made inflammatory comments against Trump supporters throughout the years.
Republican vice-presidential nominee JD Vance also weighed in on the controversy.
He said, “A mother mourning her son who died of a fentanyl overdose is not garbage. A truck driver who can’t afford rising diesel prices is not garbage. A father who wants to afford groceries is not garbage.”
The timing of Biden’s inflammatory remarks could not be worse for the Democrats.
With the election looming and candidates separated by less than one point in key swing states, this gaffe may prove to be the nail in the coffin for Harris’ already floundering campaign.
Even some Democrats are distancing themselves from Biden’s remarks, recognizing the political poison they represent.
Pennsylvania Governor Josh Shapiro, among others, has quickly moved to separate himself from Biden’s divisive rhetoric.
Meanwhile, Harris finds herself trying to salvage the situation. Her recent attempts to present a message of unity now ring hollow in the wake of Biden’s insulting comments.
