CNN is really milking the stupid gaff from Biden.

12. 'Tis a fun day indeed for the media

They get to have one whole fun day of "WHOOPEE BOTHSIDERISM!!!" now that they've got one single Biden gaffe to highlight versus the daily, if not hourly, trashing of America (and critical blocs of American swing voters) that Trump is engaging in.

I just saw Biden's comment in context. It's clear that the "garbage" he was describing was Trump and his supporters' "demonization of Latinos." Republicans are going to try and run with it anyway as "Basket of Deplorables Part II" and the media will give them a great assist, but I don't think it matters.

The reason Trump's Nazi rally gaffe (which was not even committed by Trump) was such a big deal is because swing voters that the Trump campaign is desperately trying to woo were directly insulted. Trump NEEDS those votes, and to have one of his minions piss off the hundreds of thousands of Puerto Ricans who live in swing states was just a completely boneheaded move.

But who did Biden insult (even if he insulted them directly, which he didn't)? Well, garbage people. Trump supporters. People who already weren't going to vote for Harris in a million years. So I wouldn't worry about this. This is not "Basket of Deplorables" all over again. My guess is that it will be a one day story that will not move the needle in any way.
