Kamala Harris Tries to Distance Herself from Biden Calling Half of Americans ‘Garbage’: ‘I Strongly Disagree’

Democrat presidential candidate Kamala Harris has finally issued a heavily scripted response to lame-duck President Joe Biden’s shocking remarks about American citizens.

As Slay News reported earlier, Biden provoked outrage by smearing half the country when he called President Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage.”

During the Zoom call with Democrat voters, Biden said:

“The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters.”

WATCH:

Many have predicted that Biden’s comments may have been the nail in the coffin of his vice president’s presidential hopes.

Shortly after Biden made the remarks on Tuesday night, Harris saw her chance of beating Trump slump even further in the betting markets.

Making matters even worse, Biden later disputed that he had called Trump supporters “garbage.”

He claimed that by “garbage” he meant “hateful rhetoric” that was allegedly on display at the Madison Square Garden rally.

However, referring to Trump’s supporters as “hateful rhetoric” doesn’t make sense or fit the context of Biden’s statement.

On Wednesday morning, Harris distanced herself from Biden’s “garbage” remarks.

The vice president claims that she “strongly” disagrees with criticizing Americans for who they vote for.

However, the statement comes just days after Harris held a press conference comparing Trump and his supporters to Nazis.

In a clearly rehearsed statement, Harris distanced herself from Biden’s remarks while taking questions from reporters at Joint Base Andrews in Maryland.

“First of all, he clarified his comments,” Harris claimed.

“But let me be clear, I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,” she continued.

“You heard my speech last night and continuously through my career, I believe that the work I do is about representing all the people, whether they support me or not.”

“And as president, I’ll be a president for all Americans, whether you vote for me or not,” Harris alleged.

“That is my responsibility and that’s the kind of work that I’ve done my entire career, and I take it very seriously.”

WATCH:

The Trump campaign responded to Biden’s comment immediately, sending out an email to supporters saying:

“You are not garbage! I love you!

“You are the best our nation has to offer.”
