After Years Of Dehumanizing Trumpers As Nazi Deplorables, Democrats’ ‘Garbage’ Walkbacks Ring Hollow
It’s been truly remarkable to watch Kamala Harris’ closing unity message get royally derailed by President Joe Biden’s Freudian slip about “garbage” just one week before the 2024 election wraps up. It’s been even more amazing to watch the regime’s foot soldiers lie so vociferously about the statement anyone with working ears could hear clearly on video — amazing because the CYA mission won’t work.
After insult comic Tony Hinchcliffe joked about Puerto Rico being a floating pile of trash at a recent Trump rally — among a zillion other indiscriminate zings — Democrats tried unsuccessfully to gin up a controversy about Republican racism. But that plan epically backfired when Joe Biden talked about Puerto Rico on a Zoom call and ended up calling half of Americans garbage instead.
“The only garbage I see floating out there is [Trump’s] supporters.”
October surprise, baby! It seems like poetic justice that Biden, who was knifed in the back by his own party to undemocratically install Kamala Harris as the Democrat nominee, was the one to deliver what could be the fatal blow to Harris’ seemingly faltering campaign.
The White House and accomplice media immediately launched into spin mode. Joe Biden’s X account said he was talking not about people, but about “hateful rhetoric.” His press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre “clarified” that when Biden said Trump supporters are garbage, “He was not calling Trump supporters garbage.” Got it. Taxpayer-funded NPR thought the most important part of POTUS demonizing half the country was that “Republicans pounce[d],” and the network’s media correspondent tried really hard to hear whether Biden called Trumpers trash but concluded Robert Hur-style that the president is just “an octogenarian with a stutter.” CBS News (of election interference infamy) and The Washington Post couldn’t quite sus out the mysterious meaning of “supporters.”
Politico’s Jonathan Lemire just blatantly lied about Biden’s quote, writing, “Biden, in a Zoom call with the organization Voto Latino, said ‘the only garbage’ was the ‘hatred’ of Trump supporters who said such things about American citizens.” The best part about that false statement is that the White House’s own fake transcript of Biden’s comments completely contradicts it. According to the White House — and all the corrupt media laughably running with the spin — Biden didn’t say “supporters,” he said “supporter’s.” There’s an apostrophe. Mmmk.
Here’s the rub for Democrats. Their problem isn’t that their leader just said the quiet part out loud. It’s that they’ve been so loud about their disdain for Trump supporters for so long that nobody is buying the walkbacks.
Just last week, The Atlantic came out with a hit piece comparing Trump to Adolf Hitler. As my colleague John Daniel Davidson wrote, the smear “was immediately denied on the record by all the people who were in the room with Trump,” but the psyop was already complete, intended “to justify mass post-election violence if Trump wins in November, to signal activists to reject the results of the election, to divide the military, and to coax an insurgency out of the radical left-wing base of the Democratic Party and unleash it on American cities.”
So Kamala Harris took her cue. Standing on the steps of the Naval Observatory, she repeated the Trump-Hitler comparison, which directly implies his followers are Nazis. Hillary Clinton and Harris’ running mate, Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, made the Nazi smear even more explicit. Harris has also called the leader of the Republican Party a fascist, which tells you what she thinks of his voters. When Anderson Cooper asked her at a town hall last week, “Do you think Donald Trump is a fascist?” she said, “Yes, I do. Yes, I do.”
This style of vitriol toward Republican voters isn’t new, of course. Hillary Clinton branded Trump supporters as a “basket of deplorables” eight years ago, and the “racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, you name it” slurs have run on a loop ever since.
It’s unclear how exactly Kamala Harris figures she’s going to unite with Nazis in her promise to “represent all Americans.” It’s like answering the “would you kill baby Hitler” question with an answer about adoption. She probably means Biden-style unity, which is actually condemning one’s opponents as “extreme MAGA Republicans” and then persecuting them.
But that cognitive dissonance isn’t the point. The point is that when Democrat leaders tell you who they really are — or who they think you are — you should believe them.
They don’t just think Trump is Hitler. They think you’re garbage.
