President Biden sparked backlash on Tuesday when he appeared to compare supporters of former President Trump to garbage after commenting on a racist joke a comedian made at a Trump rally days earlier likening Puerto Rico to an “island of garbage.”The White House in a statement argued that the president was referring to the rhetoric at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally on Sunday as “garbage.”“The President referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage,’” deputy press secretary Andrew Bates said in a statement.It also provided a fuller transcript of the comment, which included an apostrophe with “supporter’s,” to indicate Biden was referring to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s “demonization of Latinos” as “garbage.”Hinchcliffe delivered a comedic set at a Madison Square Garden rally for Trump on Sunday in New York City that mocked Latinos, Jews and Black men and included a joke comparing Puerto Rico to a “floating island of garbage.”And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a ‘floating island of garbage.’ Well, let me tell you something. I don’t — I — I don’t know the Puerto Rican that — that I know — or a Puerto Rico, where I’m from, in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been,” Biden said, according to the transcript provided by the White House.In a post on X, Biden himself asserted he was referring to the rhetoric from Hinchcliffe.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Tuesday that his forces have killed the replacement for slain Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in another blow for the Lebanese militant group.Netanyahu, in a video address to the people of Lebanon, confirmed that Hashem Safieddine, who was expected to replace Nasrallah, was killed amid speculation of his death in a strike last week.“We have degraded Hezbollah’s capabilities,” Netanyahu said. “We have taken out thousands of terrorists, including Nasrallah himself and Nasrallah’s replacement, and the replacement of his replacement.”It was not immediately clear who Netanyahu was referring to on the replacement of Safieddine, who was the chairman of Hezbollah’s Executive Council and a cousin of Nasrallah and has not been seen or heard from since an Israeli airstrike in Beirut on Friday.Local Israeli media also reported on Tuesday that Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant told troops that Safieddine was likely killed.Nasrallah was killed in a late September strike, shortly before Israeli forces moved into Lebanon to take the fight against Hezbollah on the ground. Israel has since moved operations to the southern coastline of Lebanon and continues to hammer the country with airstrikes.Most of the commanders and high-ranking officials in Hezbollah have now been eliminated by Israel, which has been fighting against the Iranian-backed militant group for more than a year but has dramatically stepped up its attacks in the past two months.

Harris’s director of rapid response, Ammar Moussa, wrote in a campaign email ahead of Trump running mate J.D. Vance’s remarks on the economy in Michigan that the Ohio senator would “undoubtedly lie, gaslight, and try to run away from the truth.” One such lie, he cautioned, is that “Vice President Harris wants to force every American to own an electric vehicle.” “Vice President Harris does not support an electric vehicle mandate,” Moussa claimed, before citing several news stories that argued the Biden administration only incentivized, rather than mandated, electric vehicle production by car manufacturers. Harris supported an electric vehicle mandate when she serves as the junior senator from California. In April 2019, months after announcing her bid to become the 2020 Democratic presidential nominee, Harris cosponsored the Zero-Emission Vehicles Act of 2019. The bill, which was introduced by Senator Jeff Merkley and Representative Mike Levin, presented “bold plan for transitioning the United States to 100% zero-emission vehicles.”
