In the latest display of political arrogance, President Joe Biden has opted to insult a sizeable segment of the American populace during a campaign call aimed at rallying support for his vice president, Kamala Harris. While Harris was set to take center stage, Biden couldn’t resist using the opportunity to label Trump supporters as “garbage.” This snub comes in the wake of an absurd media tempest fueled by comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s floating island of garbage joke, aimed at Trump. The timing and contempt displayed by Biden only serve to highlight the deep disdain he and his allies hold for millions of patriotic Americans.
Senator JD Vance has jumped into the fray, taking a stance that showcases both his support for Trump and his sharp critique of Biden’s demagoguery. Vance is not alone in drawing attention to the bizarre dynamics at play. Trump himself, upon hearing Biden’s remarks from Senator Marco Rubio during a campaign swing in Pennsylvania, quickly condemned the comments, suggesting Biden may be intentionally undermining Harris’s campaign. One cannot help but wonder if the real garbage here is the administration’s apparent disdain for its own party’s candidate.
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.

Biden’s comments come just as Harris was attempting to galvanize support on a critical call aimed at the Latino vote. Instead of promoting unity or respect, he chose to indulge in juvenile insults. With only a week left until a contentious election, Biden’s timing raises questions about his leadership and whether he truly has faith in Harris to carry the Democratic banner forward. The notion that the sitting president would throw his vice president under the bus in such a public fashion paints a dismal picture of Party cohesion, and perhaps suggests Biden’s own feeble grasp on the political landscape.
Voter sentiment is likely to be influenced not just by Biden’s careless remarks but also by the wider patterns of derogatory language employed by leftist politicians against their opponents. With additional figures like Tim Walz making outrageous comparisons between Trump supporters and Nazis, the message from the left is clear: they are unapologetic about their contempt for conservative values and those who hold them. Harris has been notably absent in distancing herself from such rhetoric, demonstrating an unwillingness to confront the toxic narrative their party has propagated.
With just days remaining before ballots are cast, this episode may well serve as a catalyst for conservative voters. The clear disdain exhibited by Democrats is unlikely to resonate positively at the polls. True patriots should view these repeated slights as a call to action, standing firm in their convictions. It’s time for voters to send a message: the slander against Trump supporters will not be tolerated, and it’s imperative to show up on November 5th, sending a resounding message back to Biden and his allies. The left’s parade of insults will only serve to galvanize the right to reclaim control and restore respect for all Americans in the political arena.
