While speaking as a surrogate for Kamala Harris, Joe Biden called half the country “garbage” during an unhinged rant against Donald Trump. Some Democrats condemned Biden but Senate Democrats have remained silent.
Do Jon Tester, Sherrod Brown, Bob Casey, Elissa Slotkin, Tammy Baldwin, Ruben Gallego, Jacky Rosen, and Colin Allred agree with Biden that Trump supporters are “garbage”?
It wouldn’t be surprising given their history of disdainful rhetoric towards Trump and his supporters:
- Jon Tester said Trump’s support was based on “racism” from “scared white voters.”
- Sherrod Brown said Trump voters support “racism” because “it works for them.”
- Tammy Baldwin said Trump voters failed her “moral test.”
- And Ruben Gallego said “Donald Trump ran a xenophobic campaign that drew out the worst people in the world.”
“These Democrats have spent years attacking Donald Trump and his supporters as deplorable and racist, even calling them ‘the worst people in the world.’ Now that they’re shamelessly pandering for support from Trump supporters, voters need to know if they will condemn Joe Biden’s disgusting remarks or fall in line yet again.” – NRSC Spokesman Philip Letsou
