Controversy over Biden's 'garbage' comment on Harris campaign call | LiveNOW from FOX

President Biden made headlines for a "garbage" comment he made while Vice President Kamala Harris delivered a speech from the Ellipse outside the White House. During a virtual Harris campaign call with Voto Latino, Biden took a shot at former President Trump and his supporters.

"The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters," Biden said. "[Trump's] demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it is un-American."

Biden's administration was quick to point out that he was referring to the "hateful rhetoric" about Puerto Rico, while Trump supporters were quick to call Biden's remarks disparaging.

LiveNOW's Andrew Craft discussed the controversy surrounding Biden's comments with political strategist Rhett Buttle.

Omg!!! Why do people think we are stupid? We know exactly what he said

See, now the difference is Joe Biden is *NOT* a Professional Comedian and his words can and *SHOULD* be taken seriously. He just called half the country garbage. Let that sink in!

Biden just called half of Americans garbage.

One comment was made by a comedian. The other was made by the US PRESIDENT!!! That’s a big difference. I don’t care what Sunni Huston tells you!

Unbelievable. Says she wants to unite the country while her boss calls half of us "garbage..." Wow

The comedian was referring to the over filled landfills. Biden is actually calling people garbage

A comedian at a Trump Rally says something bad, and Trump is branded evil. Here the President of the United States (who had trouble speaking) calls half of the US population 'Garbage!"

[Notomarxism]

So a comedian says something that Trump has no control over and then Biden lets us know what the Democrats think of over half of Americans

[mzkify]

Wow...a joke about landfills and the US president calling US citizens garbage are two very different things!

[Bruno-creu]

I watched his video . He definitely called half the country garbage !!!! Despicable !!!!

[DollyMich-pg]

That is not what he said. He said Trump supporters are garbage

[Bruno-creu]

I think the comedian should have been vetted but I watched Biden who clearly called us “ garbage”

[sestingray]

A video of what he said is all over social media!

[chrisrussell]

The comedian was actually referring to the landfill crisis in Puerto Rico.

[Motorboatinsongun]
