Republican strategist Scott Jennings called out film executive Franklin Leonard Tuesday night after Leonard attempted to explain President Joe Biden’s comments characterizing supporters of former President Donald Trump as “garbage.”
Biden labeled the former president’s supporters during a virtual campaign event Tuesday in response to a joke stand-up comedian Tony Hinchcliffe told during Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden Sunday. Leonard cited Biden’s history of stuttering and claimed it was “very obvious” that Biden wasn’t stereotyping all of Trump’s supporters during an episode of “CNN NewsNight,” prompting Jennings to respond.

“Let me just accept the most charitable framing of this, which you just gave me,” Jennings responded. “Why is he sitting in front of a laptop at the exact same moment Kamala Harris is out in his backyard trying to give the closing argument to her campaign? What in the world is he doing?”
“I don’t accept your framing of it, personally, because I actually do believe he, Harris, the Democratic Party, and most of their campaign do believe that half the country is garbage,” Jennings continued.
Biden’s comments came as Vice President Kamala Harris has escalated attacks on Trump in the closing weeks of the presidential campaign, devoting a major speech Tuesday to attacking the former president as a threat to democracy and portraying him as “unstable” days after she labeled the former president a “fascist” during an Oct. 23 town hall on CNN.
“Well, let me tell you something … I don’t know the Puerto Rican that I know — or a Puerto Rico, where I’m — in my home state of Delaware, they’re good, decent, honorable people,” Biden said. “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters.”
CNN banned conservative commentator Ryan Girdusky after he jokingly referenced an Israeli operation that targeted the radical Islamic terrorist group Hezbollah after former MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan defended describing Trump supporters as Nazis during a fiery exchange.
“They’ve also said people who go to Trump rallies are Nazis and so it’s pretty apparent the disdain with which they hold half of the country in,” Jennings concluded.
