ALLENTOWN, Pa. — Former President Donald Trump called it “terrible” on Tuesday that President Biden referred to his supporters as “garbage.”
Trump, 78, commented on Biden’s remark after being informed about it by Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) while he was still on stage at a Pennsylvania rally.
“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,” Rubio told Trump.
“Wow. That’s terrible,” the former president responded.
“So, you have to remember Hillary [Clinton] — she said ‘deplorable’ and then she said ‘irredeemable’ …. ‘garbage’ I think is worse,” Trump added.
“Donald Trump has no character. He doesn’t give a damn about the Latino community,” Biden said Tuesday, 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.”
