Well, here we are, folks, with yet another twist in this wild election season. Just when you think it can’t get any more chaotic, Biden jumps in to undermine his own VP’s “big moment” with a verbal blunder that could go down as one of the most stunning self-sabotages of recent memory.
Right in the middle of Kamala Harris’s big speech calling for “unity,” Biden decided to hop on a Voto Latino call and refer to Trump supporters as—you guessed it—“garbage.” Perfect timing, Joe. Way to really hammer home that unity message!
Let’s rewind a bit: Harris had taken the stage for her supposed “closing argument” to American voters, all about working together and bridging divides, making her case to lead the nation. Then Biden, with all the grace of a bull in a china shop, declares, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” as he rants about Trump and the “floating island of garbage” joke a comedian cracked at a Trump rally. In a flash, Biden’s remark went viral, and Harris’s speech? Lost in the noise.

Naturally, Trump’s team jumped on this gaffe faster than you can say “deplorables.” Sen. JD Vance, Trump’s running mate, called it “disgusting,” while Trump himself, when briefed about the comment mid-rally by Sen. Marco Rubio, couldn’t resist taking a jab, saying, “I’m convinced that he likes me more than he likes Kamala.” And he might have a point: Biden’s timing couldn’t have been worse if he’d planned it. It’s almost like he’s backhandedly sinking the Harris campaign, possibly some kind of payback after being forced out of the primary back in July.
This is disgusting. Kamala Harris and her boss Joe Biden are attacking half of the country.
There’s no excuse for this. I hope Americans reject it.

Even worse, Biden’s “garbage” comment wasn’t the only divisive rhetoric coming from the left. Remember, Harris’s own VP pick, Tim Walz, recently compared Trump’s supporters to Nazis—something Harris herself refused to condemn even after being asked about it repeatedly. So much for that unifying message, huh? The pattern is clear: no matter how much they talk about “common ground,” the left just can’t resist going after Trump supporters, painting millions of Americans as villains.

Meanwhile, the usual suspects in the mainstream media are already out with their mops, trying to clean up the mess. But it might be a little late for that. Biden’s words, plus Walz’s Nazi comment and Harris’s refusal to distance herself, all point in one direction: Democrats are more interested in demonizing their opponents than uniting the country.
And voters have a real chance to make their voices heard in at the ballot box on November 5th. The Democrats are telling us who they really are—now it’s up to the American people to respond accordingly.
