Speaking to reporters from the White House on Wednesday, Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre defended President Joe Biden’s remarks calling former President Donald Trump supporters “garbage.”

“Can you address the president’s comments yesterday referring to Trump supporters as ‘garbage?’…Does he think less of Americans who support Trump than he does of those who do not? And two, why is he using that kind of rhetoric? How is that presidential?” a reporter asked right off the bat.

“Just to clarify, he was not calling Trump supporters ‘garbage,’” Jean-Pierre said, and added that Biden issued a statement shortly after to clarify his remarks.

“He does not view Trump supporters or anybody who supports Trump as garbage. That is not what he views. The president has said this for more than three years now…he is a president for all…and it doesn’t matter who you voted for…he is a president for all. But, hateful rhetoric he hears…he will call that out,” she added.

“Does he have any regret for not being more…his language was not specific…if you were any sort of normal person listening to that video or looking at the clips online, you could come to the conclusion that he was calling, at minimum, this one man [Trump] ‘garbage,’ or if not, all Trump supporters ‘garbage’…Does he have any regret how this has shadowed Vice President Harris’ campaign?” the reporter pressed.

“He [Biden] understood that what he said was being taken out of context,” Jean-Pierre retorted. “He was talking about hateful rhetoric.”
