Yes, the president could have picked a better word than garbage to include in his answer to a question about comments concerning Puerto Rico.
And yes, Joe Biden sometimes stumbles over words when he speaks — hell, who doesn’t every once in a while?
But seriously, The New York Times and The Washington Post? His garbage remark is the lede on both your print editions Thursday.
Here is a suggestion: Why not cover House Speaker Mike Johnson on your front pages saying that there will be “no more Obamacare” if Trump is returned to the presidency?
There are a few points to make about this “garbage” controversy, with the most obvious being, man oh man, the MAGAs are so sensitive — dare I say “snowflakes.”
I can’t begin to tell you how many times, since the convicted felon and former president Donald Trump was sent to the White House, that articles I’ve written have been called “fake news” or had the words “Let’s Go Brandon” or the more vulgar “Fuck Joe Biden” put in comments. Even in non-political stories — SMDH.
Just listen to what was said at the neo-Nazi rally Trump held Sunday in Madison Square Garden — yes, the rally the adjudicated rapist called a “lovefest.”
Hillary Clinton was called a “sick son of a bitch.” Puerto Rico was called a “floating island of garbage.” Presidential candidate Kamala Harris was called the “Antichrist” and was said to have “pimp handlers,” according to Newsweek.
Trump has called Harris “low-IQ,” while saying that her supporters are “scum” and “enemies from within.”
And Dark Brandon’s “garbage” taken-out-of-context comment, made by someone who isn’t running for president, has all of MAGAland’s knickers in a twist and the mainstream media obsessing over it?
No person who has run — or will ever run — for president is perfect.
But I will never understand how we let it get this far — that a man who encouraged the overthrow of an election, who made fun of someone with disabilities, who said he is proud of taking reproductive rights away from women, who said he prefers war heroes who weren’t captured, who calls members of the military and veterans “suckers” and “losers” or who has been convicted of 34 felonies and called an adjudicated rapist would be on the ballot for president of the United States.
As I have long said, it’s going to be very interesting to see how this past decade of politics is going to be written by historians.
It seriously all depends on who is allowed to write the history.
