President Joe Biden voiced strong condemnation Tuesday over former President Donald Trump's supporters namely comedian Tony Hinchcliffe who recently made a controversial "joke" that Puerto Rico was a "floating island of garbage."

In a video Tuesday, Biden said, "Donald Trump has no character. He doesn't give a damn about the Latino community … 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."

A White House spokesman later claimed to NBC News correspondent Gabe Gutierrez that Biden was only referring to Hinchcliffe and not Trump's supporters as a whole.

As you know, Hinchcliffe made the comments about Puerto Rico at Trump's rally at Madison Square Garden in NYC this weekend.

Trump's campaign spokesman Steven Cheung responded to Biden's remarks on X writing, "2016: 'Basket of deplorables' 2024: 'Garbage... supporters' Kamala and Biden HATE Americans and will do everything to crush us if they ever hold power again."
