“People are hungry to come together again. They’re hungry to find a unifying message. They’re hungry for us to find solutions, whether it’s pricing or reproductive care, they want to see solutions,” she said.

Responding to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s comments at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday, Biden defended the Puerto Rican community in a video call focused on Latino voters and appeared to criticize Trump supporters or Hinchcliffe.

“They are good, decent, honorable people,” Biden said of Puerto Ricans. “The only trash I see floating around are his followers. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and un-American. It is totally contrary to everything we have done.”

White House spokesman Andrew Bates said in a statement that Biden “referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as garbage.”

Stephanie Cutter, senior messaging adviser for the Harris-Walz campaign, suggested in an interview on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” this morning that people should focus their outrage on Trump.

“Spare me the faux outrage from Donald Trump, JD Vance and their campaign. Even as they try to argue that President Biden is disparaging Trump voters, the president is calling the entire country a trash can,” he said.
