US President Joe Biden sparked controversy after referring to former President Donald Trump's supporters as "garbage" during a call with Hispanic advocacy group Voto Latino on Tuesday. Biden's comments came in response to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's remarks at Trump's New York rally, where he called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage". The president later clarified his statement on social media, stating that he was actually condemning Hinchcliffe's hateful rhetoric, not Trump's supporters. Biden emphasized his support for the Latino community, slamming Trump's demonization of Latinos as "unconscionable" and "un-American".
