WASHINGTON (AP) — Kamala Harris said Wednesday that she disagrees “with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,” reacting after President Joe Biden’s reference to Donald Trump’s supporters and “garbage.”

“I will represent all Americans, including those who don’t vote for me,” the vice president said.
Harris, the Democratic nominee for president, made the comment to reporters as she prepared to campaign in three states. Her words were an attempt to blunt the controversy over Biden’s rhetoric with less than a week until Election Day.
The tumult began Tuesday night around the time that Harris was delivering a unifying message in a speech near the White House. Inside the building, Biden was criticizing Trump’s recent Madison Square Garden rally, where a comedian described Puerto Rico as an “island of floating garbage.”
“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American,” Biden said in a campaign call organized by the Hispanic advocacy group Voto Latino. “It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”
Biden and the White House rushed to explain that the president was talking about the rhetoric on stage, not Trump’s supporters themselves. But Republicans seized on Biden’s comments, claiming they were an echo of the time when Hillary Clinton, as the Democratic nominee against Trump in 2016, said half of Trump’s supporters belonged to a “basket of deplorables.”
Go to hell Kamala we are sick and tired of you and your administration…
I don’t know where you’re getting your information from. There was a clear video taken and she was going to campaign where she was asked about the comments she dodged it. She did not answer the way she should have. If she was really serious, she would have said that’s his opinion but not mine . She didn’t do that.
“Do you sympathize with any voters who do feel offended by or insulted by the ‘garbage’ comment?”
Kamala: “I am running for President of the United States. I will be traveling to three states today.”
She lives in an alternate reality. As a result, honest and hard working people will suffer if she is elected.
Look up the word “phony” in the dictionary. Her picture should be used to illustrate the meaning of the word.
