Former President Donald Trump responded to Joe Biden calling millions of his supporters “garbage” during his rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday evening.
Biden disparaged Trump supporters earlier on Tuesday while responding to the now-infamous joke about Puerto Rico made by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe during Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally.

“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said Tuesday. “Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage.”
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”
Pres. Biden tonight:
“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community…just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage?…The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”

Trump was informed of the insult by Sen. Marco Rubio on stage during his rally.
Sen. @marcorubio: Biden just called our supporters “GARBAGE.” He’s talking about Border Patrol, nurses, teachers, everyday Americans who love their country.

“He’s talking about everyday Americans who love their country and want to dream big again and support you, Mr. President,” Rubio said. “And I hope [the Harris] campaign is about to apologize for what Joe Biden just said.”
“We are not garbage. We are patriots. We love America. Thank you for running,” the senator continued.
Trump responded to the news by saying, “Wow. That’s terrible.”
“So, you have to remember Hillary [Clinton] – she said ‘deplorable’ and then she said ‘irredeemable’ …. ‘garbage’ I think is worse,” Trump continued.

Biden has since attempted to walk back the insult, claiming that he did not mean all Trump supporters are garbage.

That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”
