WASHINGTON– The White House was scrambling in a panic after a recent video emerged of Joe Biden calling Trump supporters “garbage,” quickly coming to the president’s defense by saying he simply made a gaffe and that he actually meant to call the millions of people who support Donald Trump “trash” instead.
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was inundated with questions from the press corps as to why Biden would call over half the country “garbage,” but eased the minds of angry people that the Democrat president meant to say they were “trash.”
“It was an honest mistake by the president,” said Karine Jean-Pierre as she checked her note cards. “Don’t be ridiculous, President Biden would never call Trump supporters garbage. That’s a blatant lie. What he meant to say was that Trump supporters are trash. I hope this clears things up for all of you.”
With only a few days until Election Day, Democrats were worried that Biden’s “garbage” statement would hurt Kamala Harris in the polls but were quickly relieved once they heard the news that he meant to say “trash.”
At publishing time, the White House clarified Biden’s statement once again, claiming that the president meant to use the more politically correct nomenclature “litter.”
