Biden's Philadelphia trip follows heated exchange over Puerto Rico comments

Joe Biden heads to the city-of-brotherly-love today while his team handles fall-out from recent word-choices about Trump rally attendees

A pre-election conflict started at last weekends Trump-organized event in NYC‚ where stand-up performer Tony Hinchcliffe made some not-so-nice comments about Puerto Rico (calling it a floating mass of waste)

Puerto Ricans are good decent honorable people; the only waste floating around is his supporters

Biden stated during Latino voter call

The White-House staff and Kamala Harris campaign now work double-time to explain Bidens choice of words‚ which some right-wing groups say shows dis-respect for their base. The whole thing started when the comedian spoke at Madison Square Garden before Donald Trump took stage

This back-n-forth comes at a time when both sides try to win Latino votes; Biden keeps saying Trumps words about this group dont match American values
