After MSNBC and CNN ran wall-to-wall coverage of Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being an island of garbage, Joe Biden was let out of the White House basement and to the horror of the Harris team, called Trump supporters garbage.
Jonathan Lemire said Biden "implied" an apostrophe. Other than the fact the transcript makes no sense with singular possessive, only the speaker can imply. Biden can say he implied, Lemire as the listener can only infer. Now Biden has an excuse, he is a demitia addled old man. If Lemire inferred a singular positive he is just stupid and no one should listen to him.
DJT had an opportunity to apologize for the comedians comment when Sean Hanity interviewed him and all DJT did was deflect; claims he did not select him or know him ect... That failed opportunity by DJT will cost him votes. Possibly enough to lose the election. DJT needs to apologize!!! MSNBC only talked about the comedians comment and how that hurt DJT' s campaign.
DJT needs to focus on the economy and the border. He has 5 days. Will he win the election? I am not so sure
I am genuinely curious as to why one person has to apologize for a comment someone else made. Now he can say it was a joke he wouldn't have made himself, but apologize?
Give it a rest, Erick. Some staffer does not know where an apostrophe should or should not be used and you go ballistic? The phrasing of Biden's sentence as he spoke it indicates that the apostrophe in the transcript should have been placed after "supporters" to indicate that the "garbage" (meaning garbage rhetoric) was that of the supporters (meaning the offending comedian and others who spoke at the rally), not that all Trump supporters were garbage. Thus, "The only garbage I have seen floating is his supporters' (garbage)." Also note the word "is" was used rather than "are," which it would have been had he been referring to "supporters" as a group of people. All of this crap about Biden calling all Trump supporters garbage is only being pumped to take attention off of the fact that Trump's team hired some moron to tell jokes that were incredibly inappropriate for a political rally. If Trump hires people this incompetent for his campaign staff, what can we expect of his cabinet?
Oh, absolutely. Whenever you give the opposition something they can use against, valid or not, it is a gift. Trump's campaign hiring the shady comedian, however, is a valid gift, for sure.
Slight correction. Trump didn’t say PR is garbage. A comedian known to be racist not approved by trump did. Biden actually did call Trump supporters garbage.
Someone should have known that this dude is a roast comedian and not booked him. Regardless, the jokes did not apparently go over that well with the crowd. Perhaps they could have had one of the many young black women (like the one here in Atlanta) who support Trump speak instead. It’s over now and perhaps the Biden comments will reverse whatever damage might have been caused, if any. I do like the Garbage Truck Trump. 😂
It's so Biden to snatch defeat from victory by making an unnecessary comment that erased the Trump comic's joke. I think he got that from Rufus Thomas, aka Corn Pop.
If a politician's team books a known racist to tell jokes at his political rally, said politician might just have a few racists on his team. Does not reflect too well on Trump, now does it?
Erick, you are right but sadly, Americans are looking at tiktok and could care less. Sorry, but I noticed everyone in the early voting line with me and I felt like I was at a Bella Abzug and Shirley Chisholm rally. I'm not encouraged.
I’m going to ask this question again. When the Trump team is desperate to draw women voters to their side, why did they have an inappropriate comedian speaking to that massive crowd instead of Nicki Hailey? My liberal sister saw her speak on a college campus a few years ago and was very impressed. Seems like Nicki would be helpful to draw in those who are wavering on pulling the lever for Trump
Sad, you know the man is senescent, but of course you ignore that when it suits your political goals. What happened to the guy who wants to speak the truth to his own side??
The comedian makes a joke that the territory is full of garbage (it is) and the Democrats jump on it to claim it is a racist MAGA claim against Puerto Ricans.
The Democrat president, the leader of their party, says that all Americans that support Trump and oppose Democrats are garbage (of course they are not), and the Democrats claim it is just a joke taken out of context.
The term hypocrite used to have some impact in political discourse, but the Democrats have turned it into their perpetual being... to the point that it is useless to point out their hypocritical behavior. They know it but they do not care... they keep spinning and spinning and spinning... playing it all nonstop on their Democrat controlled media influence industrial complex.
The ONLY thing that will help put an end to it... a massive red wave this next election.
He didn't say or even predict a red wave. He said that was the only thing to put an end to this horror show. I predict we won't see one. They are not going to let that happen.

I couldn’t help stealing this…..
Make Garbage Great Again!!!

Epic!
Eric,

That failed opportunity by DJT will cost him votes. Possibly enough to lose the election. DJT needs to apologize!!! MSNBC only talked about the comedians comment and how that hurt DJT' s campaign.

It wont really cost him any votes - everyone is tired of this crap. Nobody really cares about all of the fake outrage.
I am genuinely curious as to why one person has to apologize for a comment someone else made. Now he can say it was a joke he wouldn't have made himself, but apologize?
Also if the country has a garbage issue then why is it now a racist joke?
Give it a rest, Erick. Some staffer does not know where an apostrophe should or should not be used and you go ballistic?

Give it a rest, SP.
Ya know, one can be anti Trump, strongly so, and still not pretend all is right with Biden.
I would not "pretend all is right with Biden." He is a senile old man. But then, so is Trump.
Trump may be a jackass, but he is hardly senile.
Joe Biden is now biting babies...
I hate Trump with a passion, but calling him senile is foolish.
Okay. Insane, then. I stand corrected.
It looks like the White House illegally doctored the transcript.
What law would that be, Joe? Is there a law against correction? Or is your comment meant as satire? If so, good one!
That would be the Presidential Records Act of 1978.
White House staff are not allowed to rewrite the words of the President in order to be to be more politically on-message.
Biden did not write the words. The transcript was interpreted from his spoken words. Nice try though.
No matter how you try to spin it, Biden's "garbage" comment was nothing short of a gift for the Trump campaign.
Oh, absolutely. Whenever you give the opposition something they can use against, valid or not, it is a gift. Trump's campaign hiring the shady comedian, however, is a valid gift, for sure.
BS. The staffer did it to alter the meaning of Biden’s attack on 48% of the people in this country.
As to “are” compared to “is” — Biden is barely conscious. Grammar ain’t his thing.
Trump said it, you believe it, that settles it, right Glen? And if Biden's grammar is not to be taken seriously, why are we having this discussion?
Slight correction. Trump didn’t say PR is garbage. A comedian known to be racist not approved by trump did. Biden actually did call Trump supporters garbage.
Someone should have known that this dude is a roast comedian and not booked him. Regardless, the jokes did not apparently go over that well with the crowd. Perhaps they could have had one of the many young black women (like the one here in Atlanta) who support Trump speak instead. It’s over now and perhaps the Biden comments will reverse whatever damage might have been caused, if any. I do like the Garbage Truck Trump. 😂
That is exactly what I meant. Bidens comments just reversed the narrative.
It's so Biden to snatch defeat from victory by making an unnecessary comment that erased the Trump comic's joke. I think he got that from Rufus Thomas, aka Corn Pop.
If a politician's team books a known racist to tell jokes at his political rally, said politician might just have a few racists on his team. Does not reflect too well on Trump, now does it?
You try really hard sir.
It wasn't a racist remark. Puerto Rican is not a race. Stupid joke? Yes. Incorrect for the audience? Yes. Not racist.
Chaz said the guy was “known to be a racist.” I took his word for it.
Erick, you are right but sadly, Americans are looking at tiktok and could care less. Sorry, but I noticed everyone in the early voting line with me and I felt like I was at a Bella Abzug and Shirley Chisholm rally. I'm not encouraged.
Do you live in Dekalb County?

Indeed. Erick should be ashamed for jumping on this bandwagon of BS.
The comedian makes a joke that the territory is full of garbage (it is) and the Democrats jump on it to claim it is a racist MAGA claim against Puerto Ricans.
The Democrat president, the leader of their party, says that all Americans that support Trump and oppose Democrats are garbage (of course they are not), and the Democrats claim it is just a joke taken out of context.
The term hypocrite used to have some impact in political discourse, but the Democrats have turned it into their perpetual being... to the point that it is useless to point out their hypocritical behavior. They know it but they do not care... they keep spinning and spinning and spinning... playing it all nonstop on their Democrat controlled media influence industrial complex.
The ONLY thing that will help put an end to it... a massive red wave this next election.
The last time "a massive red wave" was predicted was 2022. How did that work out?
You mean 2016?
No, like I said, I mean 2022. That is when many pundits, including Erick, predicted a red wave.
He didn't say or even predict a red wave. He said that was the only thing to put an end to this horror show. I predict we won't see one. They are not going to let that happen.
Did not say that Frank predicted it. Don't know if he did or not. I said it was predicted, and it was. Erick was one of the ones who did so.
