Kamala Harris says she doesn't agree with Biden's 'garbage' comment but...

Vice president Kamala Harris reacted to the 'garbage' row and said she strongly disagrees with any kind of criticism of people based on who they vote for. But President Biden already clarified his comments, Kamala Harris said in her first comment over the most contentious issue six days before the election.

NEW: Kamala Harris appears to defend Biden after he called tens of millions of voters “garbage,” doesn’t have a problem with it because he “clarified his comments.”

“Listen, I think that first of all, he clarified his comments.”

A major row broke out as the GOP seized on President Joe Biden's garbage comment which was a riposte to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's joke made at the Madison Square Ground. The comedian called Puerto Rico a floating island of garbage but the Republicans distanced from the comment and Donald Trump said he did not hear the joke.

Referring to Hinchcliffe's joke, Biden said, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters...' ranking all Trump supporters as the GOP went on an overdrive to send 'love you supporters' message. The White House managed damage control as they released the transcript of the script which has an apostrophe for saving grace. "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's..." the transcript read emphasising that Biden did not call garbage to Donald Trump's supporters but he called Tony Hinchcliffe garbage.
