Biden’s Blunder and Its Impact on Harris’ Campaign
A CNN host has pointed out that Joe Biden’s recent comment, where he called Trump supporters “garbage,” has seriously hurt Kamala Harris’ campaign. This slip-up might just be one of the biggest mistakes in this election cycle.
Biden made his controversial remark after a comedian joked about Puerto Rico, trying to pin blame on Trump. His response? “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.” Not exactly the best way to win over voters!
The Fallout from Biden’s Comments
CNN’s Abby Phillip highlighted that Biden was supposed to be in “do no harm mode.” The Harris campaign wanted him kept at arm’s length during these crucial final days. But instead, he may have caused significant damage right from the White House.
“Well, even from the White House, he may have done some pretty significant harm in the final week of the campaign,” Phillip noted. Clearly, this wasn’t what they had planned for.
An Attempted Apology That Backfired
Biden tried to backtrack with an apology, but it only seemed to make things worse. The White House absurdly claimed that when Biden said “garbage,” he was referring specifically to Hinchcliffe and not all Trump supporters.
The BBC reported that when they released a transcript of Biden’s remarks, they included an apostrophe in “supporter’s”—suggesting he meant one person rather than a whole group. However, anyone who watches the clip knows he was clearly talking about all Trump supporters!
Trump Responds: A Call for Forgiveness?
Donald Trump didn’t hold back when responding to this controversy. He labeled Biden’s comments as “terrible.” Remember Hillary Clinton? She called us deplorable and then irredeemable—Biden calling us garbage is even worse!
In a surprising twist, Trump led a prayer asking his followers to forgive Joe Biden because “he doesn’t know what he is doing.” It seems like even amidst criticism, there’s room for compassion—or maybe just strategy?
