Biden tries to clarify 'garbage' comment after fresh US election row | #usanewstoday #news #donaldtrump #baiden #usaelections President Joe Biden has tried to clarify comments that triggered a fresh row, after he was accused of calling supporters of Donald Trump "garbage". He was responding to comic Tony Hinchcliffe who sparked controversy by calling Puerto Rico, a US territory, an "island of garbage" during a Trump rally on Sunday. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden was initially quoted as saying on Tuesday, prompting an angry Republican backlash. The White House later released a transcript which included an apostrophe, and said the president was talking about the words of Hinchcliffe, and not all Trump supporters. "The only garbage I see floating out there is (Trump's) supporter’s… his demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American," the transcript reads.
