President Biden reinserted himself into the contentious campaign to succeed him, appearing to call former President Donald Trump's supporters "garbage" on a video call with Latino activists Tuesday evening. Republicans seized on the comments, while the White House offered a different explanation of what Mr. Biden said.
The president was responding to a joke made at a Trump rally Sunday at Madison Square Garden by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, in which Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage."
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," he seemed to say. "His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable."
But the White House denied that the president had said this about Trump supporters and released a transcript with a statement noting that "supporters" was in fact "supporter's," and Mr. Biden was referring to Hinchcliffe and his joke
