Here’s what The New York Post reported:
President Biden raged against “Kill Tony” podcast host Tony Hinchcliffe’s joke about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage” and suggested that was a good description for supporters of former President Donald Trump.
“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said, according to an NBC reporter. “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.”
A White House spokesperson later clarified that Biden, 81, was referring to Hinchcliffe specifically.

Per The Daily Mail:
President Joe Biden referred to Donald Trump supporters as ‘garbage’ in an astonishing statement as Vice President Kamala Harris issued her ‘closing’ plea in the 2024 election.
The 81-year-old commander-in-chief was responding to a speaker at the former president’s Madison Square Garden rally comparing Puerto Rico to a ‘floating island of garbage’.
The comments sparked an immediate reaction from people comparing it to Hillary Clinton’s ‘Basket of Deplorables’ remarks in 2016.
