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.
Trump, himself, had distanced himself from Hinchcliffe who drew widespread, bipartisan backlash for his line about Puerto Rico during his opener at the Madison Square Garden Trump rally on Sunday.
