Biden made this statement while commenting on comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's remarks at Trump's campaign rally in New York, where Hinchcliffe referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating garbage island." The American leader emphasized that the people of Puerto Rico are "good, decent, honest people."
“The only garbage I see is his supporters,” Biden stated.
Later, officials at the White House clarified that Biden was not referring to all of the Republican's supporters, but specifically to the comedian, and that the misunderstanding arose due to the apostrophe.
