In the\u200c aftermath, various Democratic pundits attempted to downplay Biden&#8217;s comment, with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz asserting\u2062 that it did not\u2062 undermine the campaign&#8217;s message of unity. Despite this, \u2064critics, including\u200c Republican representatives and some \u2062media\u200d personalities, argue that Biden&#8217;s words reflect a troubling tone among Democrats and criticize\u200d the hypocrisy of the media&#8217;s response to such remarks. Multiple voices in the media weighed in, both defending Biden and calling out the <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">perceived double standard<\/a> in their reactions compared to Trump&#8217;s frequently controversial statements. the situation illustrates\u2062 the intense political climate and the scrutiny faced by public figures regarding their rhetoric.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Democrats and legacy media work to dismiss Biden&rsquo;s &lsquo;garbage&rsquo; remark<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1846025\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Democratic pundits took to <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/tv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">television networks<\/a> Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning in an attempt to diminish President <a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/joe-biden\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Joe Biden<\/a>&lsquo;s reference to Trump supporters as &ldquo;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/campaigns\/presidential\/3208736\/wake-up-washington-examiner-biden-garbage-gaffe-history-making-races\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"garbage\">garbage<\/a>.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Biden&rsquo;s comment was made during a Voto Latino online rally after former President Donald Trump&rsquo;s&nbsp;event at Madison Square Garden.
