President Joe Biden voiced sturdy condemnation Tuesday over former President Donald Trump‘s supporters specifically comic Tony Hinchcliffe who not too long ago made a controversial “joke” that Puerto Rico was a “floating island of rubbish.”
In a video Tuesday, Biden mentioned, “Donald Trump has no character. He would not give a rattling concerning the Latino group … simply the opposite day, a speaker at his rally referred to as Puerto Rico a floating island of rubbish? … The one rubbish I see floating out there’s his supporters.”

A White Home spokesman later claimed to NBC Information correspondent Gabe Gutierrez that Biden was solely referring to Hinchcliffe and never Trump’s supporters as a complete.
