“It’s a terrible thing to say,” Donald Trump said at a campaign rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania. Running mate JD Vance called Joe Biden’s comments “disgusting.”
“Minutes ago, Joe Biden said that our supporters, our countrymen, are trash,” Republican Senator Marco Rubio also said. “He’s talking about ordinary Americans who love their country.
