Joe Biden’s “Garbage” Gaffe Gets Full-Throated Defense From White House, Blasted By Trump; VP Distances From POTUS In Campaign’s Final Days


Biden's "Garbage" Gaffe Defended By White House, Mocked By Trump, As Harris Distances From POTUS

Kamala Harris is distancing herself today from Joe Biden ’s “garbage” gaffe amid a very close election race, but the White House is insisting it’s all about the apostrophe. Seeking to regain traction after the VP’s strong Ellipse speech and gain his own version of a moral high ground, Trump mocked both Biden and Harris with “you can’t lead America, if you don’t love Americans” at a North Carolina rally. Of course, even if Trump avoided more “enemy within” comments and declared that he “isn’t Hitler,” it is hard to turn the tables when the GOP candidate then went on to call Harris “a low IQ person” and Democrats “low lifes.” Falling back into his usual list of sleights, Trump spent a lot of time today mispronouncing the VP’s name and going on and on in front of his North Carolina supporters about how great he was in the September 10 debate with Harris, a match-up he was widely seen as losing.
