In the wild world of American politics, there’s no shortage of jaw-dropping moments, and Joe Biden just gifted us another one for the scrapbook. You may remember when Hillary Clinton famously labeled half the country “deplorables” back in 2016. Well, folks, fast forward to today, and Uncle Joe calls some of us “garbage.” Yes, you heard that right. This guy can’t even find a decent metaphor that doesn’t land him in a dumpster fire!
The incident kicked off during a Madison Square Garden rally where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made a joke about Puerto Rico. Now, mind you, Hinchcliffe wasn’t throwing shade at Puerto Ricans themselves (I mean, come on, even Joe Biden is supposed to know that much). Instead, he was poking fun at the Biden Administration’s failure to manage the aftermath of recent hurricanes, which have turned some areas into an actual garbage crisis. Tough break when your administration’s mismanagement makes for better punchlines than any stand-up routine!
Of course, Biden’s supporters took this opportunity to wag their fingers and accuse everyone of misunderstanding the comedic genius that is Hinchcliffe. You know it’s a bad day when your damage control involves convincing people that calling part of the American populace “garbage” is just a comedic miscommunication. Newsflash: decrying a lack of sanitation services in Puerto Rico due to insufficient federal assistance doesn’t count as a license to throw shade on its residents. But if it did, you could bet Biden would be the first in line to make that point.
Now, let’s get real; calling people garbage while simultaneously trying to champion a campaign based on unity and decency seems hypocritical. If we’ve learned anything from years of the political circus, it’s that Democrats can sure throw around hyperbole like it’s confetti at a parade. Don’t worry, though; the only trash I see here is the mismanagement spilling over into the streets, courtesy of the same administration that will probably write this off as “fake news” faster than you can say, “I have no idea what I’m doing.”
To wrap it all up, it’s yet another day in the sunshine of American politics where names are called, and trash talk is an Olympic sport. Maybe, just maybe, Biden should take a page from the comedian’s playbook and focus less on hurling insults and more on fixing the actual garbage problems we face. Or is that too much to expect from an administration that seems more interested in virtue-signaling than actual governing? One thing is for sure: the more they talk, the clearer it becomes that the dumpster fire is alive and well.
