Liberal late-night hosts either downplayed or avoided President Biden’s controversial “garbage” remark about Trump supporters after they panned the controversial Puerto Rico joke made at former President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden made headlines.

On Monday, “Late Show” host Stephen Colbert praised the “massive impact” of insult comedian Tony Hinchliffe’s joke that called Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash,” pointing to the “470,000” Puerto Rican voters who live in Pennsylvania.

“And you’re not going to win over half a million people by insulting their homeland,” Colbert exclaimed.

On Tuesday night, Colbert bragged about the fallout from the joke by reading several negative headlines that impacted the Trump campaign.

“Here’s a little pro tip: If you’re running for president, try not to surprise yourself in October,” Colbert quipped. “It’s rare to tell a joke so bad that it changes the course of human history.”

Colbert continued to criticize Trump for not taking any responsibility for Hinchcliffe’s joke.

However, the topic of “garbage” was ignored in Colbert’s monologue on Wednesday, which instead focused on Vice President Kamala Harris’ crowd at her Ellipse rally and suggested that it was numerically larger than Trump’s audience when he simultaneously delivered his speech on March 6 . January held location.

ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel called the rally at Madison Square Garden “mean,” “hateful” and “racist,” telling his audience that it “infuriated Puerto Ricans so much that Bad Bunny had to get involved.”

“Trump has caused so much havoc with Puerto Ricans that now they’re throwing paper towels at him,” Kimmel joked Monday night.

But instead of taking aim at Biden, he mocked Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Florida, on Wednesday night, who he said “frantically” informed Trump about Biden’s “garbage” comment at Tuesday’s rally in Allentown, Pennsylvania .

“Oh my stars! What kind of language is that supposed to be?!” Kimmel reacted dramatically after playing the clip of Rubio and referencing the “Despicable Me” film series. “He’s like an excited little servant telling Gru big news.”

The “Jimmy Kimmel Live” host went on to say he doesn’t blame the Trump campaign for “getting involved in this garbage thing,” acknowledging that it was “not a wise decision to say that.”

“Joe Biden should get out of this race immediately,” Kimmel joked, before poking fun at Trump’s garbage truck campaign stunt.

Notably, both Colbert and Kimmel held mega fundraisers for Biden before he dropped out of the 2024 race.

Meanwhile, “Late Night” host Seth Meyers, after blasting Trump over the Puerto Rico mistake on Monday, took a quick dig at Biden on Wednesday night but spent more time taking issue with Trump’s attempts to distance himself from the joke analyze.

“When President Biden denounced racist remarks at former President Trump’s rally at Madison Square Garden on Sunday, he appeared to call Trump supporters ‘trash.'” Now it was obvious what he meant Nothing,” Meyers jokingly became tense. “Why are you saying something?! Have you forgotten that you’re so bad at saying things that we had to get someone else?!”

Meyers also joked about the transcript of Biden’s comments released by the White House, saying, “We all have to decipher them like we’re reading hieroglyphs backwards through a jeweler’s magnifying glass.”

Biden sought to clarify comments he made during a virtual Harris campaign call with Voto Latino.

“Today I called the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico expressed by Trump’s supporters at his Madison Square Garden rally as trash – that’s the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden wrote on X. ” His demonization of Latinos is.” That’s all I wanted to say. The comments at this rally do not reflect who we are as a nation.
