Biden's controversial remark sparks heated exchange between political rivals
A political storm erupted when **Joe Biden** made an unexpected comment about his opponents supporters at a Latino-focused event. The situation quickly evolved into a back-and-forth between both sides of political spectrum
Last year Joe Biden made some off-the-cuff remarks at a Voto Latino event that created quite a stir (when responding to offensive comments about Puerto Rico made at his rivals rally). His words were initially unclear but later became a hot-button issue.
Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trumpʼs supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage
The situation got more complex when Kamala Harris — his vice-president took a different approach speaking from the Ellipse in DC: she focused on unity and reaching-out to all americans. Meanwhile Donald Trump used this moment to fire-back at a Pennsylvania event where he brought up Marco Rubio to address the crowd
- Josh Shapiro a democrat governor said heʼd never insult voters
- Republican campaign team quickly made fundraising messages
- Some compared it to the “basket of deplorables“ moment from 2016
When asked about the initial comedianʼs joke that started everything Trump brushed it off saying he didnt know who that person was; though at his next rally in Allentown he made his own comments about immigration
The timing was extra-sensitive since it happened during election season. While Harris was trying to get support from different political groups — including ex-republicans like Liz Cheney‚ Biden kept pushing hard against his opponent saying he “doesnt give a damn about the Latino community“
