Democratic pundits took to television networks Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning in an attempt to diminish President Joe Biden‘s reference to Trump supporters as “garbage.”

Biden’s comment was made during a Voto Latino online rally after former President Donald Trump’s event at Madison Square Garden. At Trump’s rally, comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made a joke at the expense of the country of Puerto Rico that crowds poorly received, referring to it as a “floating island of garbage.” The president appeared in the Voto Latino rally and said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters.”
