The recent circus surrounding President Joe Biden’s remarks about Trump supporters only solidifies what everyone already knows: the man is not a friend to half of America. An apparent gaffe turned major scandal erupted when Biden, either in a moment of unfiltered honesty or a lapse of judgment, called these millions of supporters “garbage.” A cringe-worthy attempt to backtrack by his administration, supposedly leaning on an intern’s suggestion to spin it more nicely, only amplifies the chaos.
Biden’s defenders tried to argue that he was simply referencing the hateful speech made by a comedian at a Trump rally, but most can easily see through that flimsy cover. The president’s comments were crystal clear: he was referring to the very people who voted for the last guy—and nearly half the country hates being labeled as disposable trash. It’s funny how Biden can’t even seem to wrangle his message these days—not many would trust him to handle social media, considering his tendency to mix up words like most of us mix up socks.

Predictably, Trump loyalists didn’t buy the White House’s latest version of “Oops, my bad.” Biden’s critics feel that he’s fully aware of what he said and whether or not he actually punched that tweet out himself. Donald Trump Jr. astutely noted that no social-media-savvy intern could possibly obscure the vitriol emanating from the Harris-Biden regime. Comedy skits about Puerto Rico? Sure, bail on that! But calling millions of voters “garbage”? That’s just chilling, straight out of the Democrat playbook.
The White House’s frantic attempt to downplay the president’s blatant insult included a desperate revision of the transcript to clarify that ole Joe meant to decry only the comedian’s comments. But this back-and-forth felt as thin as Biden’s grasp on policy. His assertion that he meant to refer to an isolated comment about one person—a comedian no less—strikes many as nothing more than a political parlor trick to dodge accountability. It’s rich seeing the left engage in Orwellian rewriting of history, especially as they simultaneously wag their fingers at anyone who questions the narrative.
Critics of the White House’s revised viewpoint have noticed a glaring problem: Biden’s messages always find a way to expose deeper animosity toward Trump voters. If merely denigrating one public figure while trashing a substantial voting block isn’t the masterclass of political miscalculation, then nothing is. The backlash was swift, with social media buzzing like a beehive after a skittish kid threw a rock at it. Some chose to see Biden’s comments as a rallying cry to help Trump secure another victory, noting that being called “garbage” only sharpens resolve.
It’s clear: Biden’s attempts to couch his words in compassion fell flat as activists and supporters revolted. They miscalculated if the Harris-Biden team thought they could wash away this misstep with a few keyboard strokes. The truth remains that every slip of the tongue and faux pas reveals the pithy disdain Democrats harbor for those who dare to think differently. This latest debacle has only highlighted their distaste for half the nation in a political landscape saturated with tension. Ultimately, they’ve done more for the Trump campaign than anticipated.
