Late night hosts ignore, downplay Biden's 'garbage' insult to Trump supporters after making Puerto Rico joke.

Late night liberals downplayed or completely avoided President Biden's “garbage” speech about Trump supporters after he made a controversial Puerto Rico joke that made headlines at President Trump's Madison Square Garden rally.

On Monday, “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert called out the “huge implications” of a joke made by insult comedian Tony Hinchliffe calling Puerto Rico a “floating island of garbage,” referring to the “470,000” Puerto Rican voters who live in Pennsylvania. .

“And you're not going to win over half a million people by insulting their country,” Colbert exclaimed.

On Tuesday night, Colbert bragged about falling for a joke by reading several negative articles about the Trump campaign.

“Here's a little tip: when you're running for president, try not to be surprised by October,” Colbert said. “It is rare to tell a joke so bad that it changes the history of mankind.”

Colbert went on to bash Trump for being neutral about Hinchcliffe's joke.

However, the issue of “garbage” was ignored in Colbert's monologue on Wednesday, instead drawing the attention of Vice President Kamala Harris at her Ellipse rally, setting Trump's audience count during his January 6 speech at the same time. place.

ABC's Jimmy Kimmel blasted the Madison Square Garden rally as “hateful,” “hateful” and “racist,” telling his audience “they pissed off Puerto Ricans until Bad Bunny had to get involved.”

“Trump made a mess with Puerto Ricans, now they're throwing in the towel,” Kimmel joked Monday night.

But on Wednesday night, instead of looking at Biden, he mocked Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., said he “out of frustration” informed Trump about Biden's “garbage” comments at Tuesday's rally in Allentown, Penn.

“Oh my stars! What kind of language can you use?!” Kimmel reacted with surprise after playing a clip of Rubio and referencing the “Despicable Me” movie series. “He's like a happy little son bringing big news to Gru.”

The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host went on to say that he doesn't blame the Trump campaign for “jumping[ing] in all this rubbish,” admitting that “it's not a smart thing to say.”

“Joe Biden should get out of this race immediately,” Kimmel joked before mocking Trump's garbage truck campaign.

Notably, both Colbert and Kimmel hosted major fundraisers for Biden before he dropped out of the 2024 race.

Meanwhile, “Late Night” host Seth Meyers, after pumping up Trump on Monday about the Puerto Rico blunder, took a brief swipe at Biden on Wednesday night but spent most of the time trying to distance himself from the joke.

“While criticizing racist remarks at President Trump's rally in Madison Square Garden on Sunday, President Biden appeared to call Trump supporters 'scum.' Now, obviously, he meant it nothing,” Meyers joked and tensed. “Why are you saying something?! Have you forgotten that you are so bad at talking, we should have gone to get someone else?!”

Meyers also mocked the transcript of Biden's comments released by the White House, saying “we all have to interpret it like reading hieroglyphics backwards with a jeweler's loupe.”

Biden tried to clarify his comments, made on a phone call between the Harris campaign and Voto Latino.

“Earlier today I referred to the hate speech about Puerto Rico spewed by a Trump supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage – the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden wrote on X. I have no conscience. That's all I wanted to say in that meeting, it doesn't reflect who we are as a nation.”
