In what White House officials are calling a slip of the tongue, President Biden called Trump supporters “garbage.”

From The Epoch Times. President Joe Biden is facing criticism for calling supporters of former President Trump “garbage” during a virtual speech on Oct. 29.

Biden’s comments were made during a Zoom call with Voto Latino, a nonprofit aimed at registering Latinos to vote, in which Biden referenced stand-up comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s remarks about Puerto Rico during Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City earlier this week.

“Just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage,” Biden said.

The president then added: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.” …

White House spokesman Andrew Bates posted the transcript of the remarks stating that the president said, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s.” This, Bates said, “referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as ‘garbage.’”

Biden, in a post on social media platform X, said that his comment was in reference to what he called Trump’s “demonization of Latinos.” …

Biden’s remarks drew a quick rebuke from the Trump side. Trump campaign spokesperson Karoline Leavitt in a statement said that “Joe Biden and Kamala Harris don’t just hate President Trump, they despise the tens of millions of Americans who support him.” …

Trump drew a parallel between Biden’s comment and those made by then-Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton, who in September 2016 said, “You could put half of Trump’s supporters into what I call the basket of deplorables.”

The comments at the time sparked fierce backlash. In a 2017 memoir Clinton recounted the comment as being one of the factors that led to her election loss. …

The Bible says to “let no corrupt word proceed of your mouth,” although it seems that these are all too common in politics these days. Share your prayers for unity below.

There are two scriptures that come to mind. These are the words that Jesus spoke.
Matthew 12:34 and Luke 6:45 both state that “out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” This implies that words should not be taken lightly and dismissed. President Biden, by his policies/actions , has shown that he is not a God-fearing man. His disdain for God fearing men and women was displayed loud and clear for the everyone to see.

Jesus clearly stated in Matthew 5 that the most Godly thing we can do is to see and treat all people equally. We are even to love our enemies, this is to be perfect, like God. But it is interesting that IFA writes about Biden without ever mentioning any concerns equally about how this started, Trump having a rally where many fascist and racist comments were made. His rhetoric is also becoming increasingly violent. Why no equal concerns on both sides? Why no prayer concerns over Trump and what he has been saying recently? Do we not want to follow the teachings of Jesus, do we not want to be Godly and treat all equally?

    Did President Trump make those comments? No.

    Did President Biden make that comment? Yes.

    Did President Trump personally schedule and review the outlines of every speaker at the Rally? Highly doubtful.

    Did President Biden read the teleprompter as even the mainstream media report and then go off script? Yes.

    There are many praying for the salvation of those who profess acceptance and furtherance of late term on demand abortions, mutilation of children by furthering “transing”,
    man-made marriage vs God’s design,
    Infiltration of our country with murderers, rapists, child and drug traffickers, robbers, hackers, violence seekers, gangs, election interference, voting interference, law fare, indoctrination of schools, censorship etc.

    The Most High over ALL the Earth, Migdal-Oz- Strong Tower: Surely You are the Only – One True God. Surely You are listening and hearing our prayers and seeing our fasting, surely You, Creator, Prince of Peace, Paraclete are ruling over and over ruling the atrocities of this present age.

    Father, You created Your heavenly beings, Your Angels for Your purposes. It was one – called Lucifer – that decided to rail and attempt to take over.
    The evil one and 1/3 of the Angels were cast out. We, humans, also make choices that either steers us toward You or away from You. Open our eyes to realize which direction we are heading.

    Thank You, LORD, for Patience, Providence and Provision. In Jesus Name. Amen..

Father, help President Trump by the leading of your Holy Spirit rise above the rhetoric. What Trump said in response to Biden comment was “Forgive him(Biden) because he knows not what he does”.
As Christians we are called to pray for our enemies. I pray all of Mr. Trumps enemies would come to salvation. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
