"SNIP...............

While it sounded like President Biden was denouncing Donald Trump supporters as “garbage” last night, the White House released a transcript of his remarks with a statement noting that “supporters” was in fact “supporter’s,” and Biden was specifically referring to the comedian at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally, CBS News

reports.

Playbook: “You can certainly debate whether the comment genuinely has the power to move votes in the final week or if it’s a Beltway media obsession kindled by people who just days ago were telling people we have to stop getting so offended all the time.”

“But no matter where you put that apostrophe, it’s a distraction for Harris going into the final six days — and an interesting final test for her relationship with the man who elevated her to the vice presidency and handed her the campaign baton.”

.............SNIP"

Taegan Goddard:

Of course, Donald Trump literally called the country a “garbage can.”

CNN: Trump called Harris' supporters communists, fascists, etc.

1. Trump called the USA a garbage can because of the people in it.

2. Oh crap,

this is to be expected again, the media is like vultures going in for the kill. But they don't say anything about the felon's interpretation of his rally being a "lovefest" WTF.

The WH Briefing Room should be interesting with all this misinformation being swirled at Karine Jean-Pierre.

We have other things to thing about like Voting in great numbers.

3. Mostly, I am shocked by some latching on to this and salivating about a "gaffe."

I can't wait for this election to done and over. This has been the shortest campaign, with Harris-Walz as the ticket, in history, but some are dead-set on cramming in as much crap and chaos as they would get in a normal campaign. Masochists? Can't fight the urge to buy into CNN horseshit? I don't know, but...
I am done with it, and with the bed wetters/masochists.

4. Frankly

Who cares if President Biden referred to people who want a felon rapist to be POTUS again as "garbage"? Seriously. He should have already released a statement doubling down.
