From Biden's 'garbage' to Trump’s 'losers.' Making sense of political insults in 2024
Fox News' Lucas Tomlinson and Bryan Llenas provide details on the fallout after President Biden called former President Trump's supporters 'garbage' and updates from the campaign trail. Fox News contributor Marc Thiessen reacts.
The reactions to political rhetoric in today’s climate often seem baffling. Take former President Donald Trump, for example. When he unleashes insults—branding opponents and their supporters as "radical," "losers," "spoiled children" or even "the enemy from within"—it’s almost anticipated. Many Americans see him as a fighter, a bulldog taking on the political establishment and these remarks are viewed as part of his tough persona. Supporters love his directness and his willingness to "drain the swamp."
Now, contrast that with the fallout when former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton called Trump supporters a "basket of deplorables" or when President Joe Biden labeled them as "garbage" the way he did on Tuesday night.
The backlash has been swift and loud.
