Kamala Harris breaks silence on Biden’s ‘garbage’ comment about Trump supporters

Vice President Kamala Harris opined on President Biden’s off-the-cuff jab yesterday that the “only garbage I see floating out there is his [Trump’s] supporters.”

“First of all, he clarified his comments, but let me be clear I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,” she told reporters at Joint Base Andrews Wednesday.

“You heard in my speech last night and continuously throughout my career, I believe that the work that I do is about representing all the people whether they support me or not,” she added. “As president of the United States, I will be a president for all Americans whether you vote for me or not.”

Biden has since walked back his comment and the White House claimed that he meant to refer to the “hateful” rhetoric from Tony Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico, rather than former President Donald Trump’s supporters broadly.

Her answer “I come from a middle class family”

[danielsdimension]

FJB. Calling Americans garbage is not okay.

[JujuBonez]

What a mess! A comedian made a joke and then the actual president makes a statement like that??? I hope Americans are paying attention. We are second class citizens in our country and now the truth comes out… we are all just garbage in the president’s eyes 🙄

[Mthch]

Kamala will allow men to play sports with women 😂😂😂😂

Listen, first of all, let me be clear, I grew up from a middle class family.

[ericlewandowski]

I can’t wait for Harris to kick Biden out of the White House

[faithingod]

So she tried to flip the narrative like she flipped her position on fracking to try and fool the people of PA. What a liar! haha

[ScottyPimpinATL]

Biden certainly did not vote for Kamala. He may be loosening his mind but still has his sanity

[Vltor]

The joke was a dig at Biden/Harris for not helping Porte Rico over the last 3 years with their landfill- garbage situation on the island.

[economiccrisis]

I guess this must be the October surprise 😂

[colleenkennedy]

Stop drinking Kamala it's showimg.

[MikeMike-duui]

Look .. Vegas odds are against her
And they're not in the habit of giving away money 😅🤣

[TrevByTheTon]

Cleared that up, she thinks trumps supporters are garbage. After being a lifelong family raised democrats. That's terrible rhetoric, from being shamed by her peers in the Democratic debate to this. Disgusting how dividing the Democratic party has become.

[PrestonGarhvey]

"let me be clear" then flips what she things we are

[hazytrain]

We know you hate us it's clear by your policies and what you have done to our nation. So please hold your breath

[correypeta]
