Moment Trump issues withering ‘forgive him’ put-down of Biden after ageing President called voters ‘garbage’
DONALD Trump called for his supporters to forgive Joe Biden in a shocking moment after the president called his fans garbage.
The Republican presidential nominee made this surprising remark at his latest rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
The moment Florida senator Marco Rubio went on stage to tell Trump and his fans about Biden’s scathing remarks was caught on camera.
“I wasn’t going to say anything but I have breaking news for you Mr President, you may not have heard this,” Rubio said.
“Just moments ago, Joe Biden stated that our supporters are garbage.”
Trump appeared to shake his head as Rubio continued his impassioned defense.
“He’s talking about the border patrol, he’s talking about nurses, he’s talking about teachers,” Rubio said.
“He’s talking about everyday Americans who love their country and want to dream big again and want to support you Mr President.”
Trump responded to these words by reminding his supporters what Hillary Clinton said about them in 2016.
“Remember Hillary? She said deplorable, and then she said irredeemable right but she said deplorable, that didn’t work out,” Trump said.
“Garbage I think is worse right?
“But he doesn’t know. You have to please forgive him.”
The former president then made a bizarre guess about how much Biden likes him.
“These people are terrible, terrible, terrible to say a thing like that,” Trump added.
“But he really doesn’t know. He really honestly, he doesn’t.
“And I’m convinced that he likes me more than he likes Kamala. But that’s a terrible thing.”
These remarks came after Biden was asked about a comment made at a Trump rally on Tuesday about Puerto Rico, during a Zoom call with Voto Latino.
The comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called the US territory a “floating island of garbage,” at the rally in New York City on Sunday.
Biden clapped back at this and said: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.
“His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and it’s un-American.
“It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”
Hinchcliffe’s comment has sparked fury from both sides of US politics and has led to accusations of racism.
The comedian made another series of jokes that lent into racial stereotypes.
Trump has since claimed he did not know the comedian and didn’t hear his joke.
Despite this, the Puerto Rican mega pop star Bad Bunny endorsed Kamala Harris.
