In yet another stunning display of the Biden administration’s talent for turning allies into adversaries, Vice President Kamala Harris was put on the spot by the Trump campaign demanding an apology for President Biden’s recent, less-than-savory remark about the supporters of his predecessor. While Harris attempted to finish delivering her “closing argument” in Washington, the fallout was already proving disastrous. Apparently, when Biden referred to Trump supporters as “garbage,” he wasn’t thinking about recycling, but his comments certainly hit a nerve.
The backdrop for Biden’s poorly chosen words was a Trump rally where a comedian made a tasteless joke about Puerto Rico. In typically Biden fashion, he leapt at the chance to ride those coattails into further division, saying the only garbage he saw was floating among Trump supporters. It seems the humor challenged both the comedian and the President’s own sense of decorum, providing a golden opportunity for the Trump camp to respond with a barrage of pushback.

Media outlets like Politico and the Associated Press tried their best to spin the situation, claiming Biden wasn’t really insulting the supporters in general but the ones who echoed the problematic joke. Meanwhile, the White House, in a show of linguistic gymnastics, suggested that Biden was simply referring to a singular “supporter”— as if this somehow clarified things. Even CNN struggled with the narrative, revealing just how outrageous Biden’s comments had gone.
Senator J.D. Vance stepped into the ring, lamenting how Harris and her boss were essentially attacking half the country with such inflammatory rhetoric. His call for accountability was echoed by fellow Republicans who pointed out that, when Biden disparaged Trump fans, he was talking about hard-working Americans, including law enforcement and teachers, who are proud patriots. It seems Biden has taken targeting “the little guy” to a new level, attempting to tear down those who believe in American values.
Everyday Americans certainly took notice, with Trump Jr. also weighing in with a critique that seemed to hit particularly close to home. He highlighted the story of Alexis Nungaray, a mother who tragically lost her daughter due to crimes committed by an illegal immigrant—an issue the Biden administration has seemingly ignored in favor of a more open-border approach. Instead of addressing real concerns, the administration has turned its back on average Americans, calling them “garbage” rather than listening to their needs and struggles.
As the dust settled on Biden’s careless comments, Harris remained notably silent, even as reports surfaced of aides leaking that Biden is both unpopular and undisciplined. The clamor for Harris to disavow her boss’s remarks grows louder, but the Vice President’s reluctance to address the situation speaks volumes about where the administration stands with American citizens. It seems rather clear that under the Biden-Harris regime, the callousness towards the backbone of the country is becoming a hallmark that Americans aren’t likely to forget anytime soon.
