In a statement, Biden clarified that his remarks about the hateful rhetoric regarding Puerto Rico aimed at a pro-Trump comedian, not Trump's supporters directly, suggesting nuance in interpretation.
Biden's comments, during a Zoom call, were somewhat garbled, leading to varying interpretations; journalists debated whether he referred to 'supporter's' or 'supporters,' highlighting uncertainty in language.
Biden emphasized the un-American nature of the hateful rhetoric from Trump's supporter, asserting that Puerto Ricans he knows are 'good, decent, honorable people' contrasted against such demonization.
Republicans quickly seized on Biden’s remarks, drawing parallels to Clinton's previous 'basket of deplorables' comment, suggesting that Biden's wording could similarly damage his political standing.
