His remarks, made in response to a comedian's derogatory comment about Puerto Rico at a Donald Trump rally, have opened a door for Trump to shift focus away from his own controversial campaign tactics.
Biden criticised the comedian's description of Puerto Rico as a «floating island of garbage,» asserting that the people of Puerto Rico are «good, decent, and honourable.» However, his defence sparked a political uproar, detracting from Vice President Kamala Harris's key closing speech on Tuesday evening, CNN reported.
«And just the other day, a speaker at his rally called Puerto Rico 'a floating island of garbage.' Well, let me tell you something… I don't know the Puerto Rican that I know… or Puerto Rico where I'm--in my home state of Delaware--they're good, decent, honourable people,» Biden said during his virtual remarks in a get-out-the-vote call meant to help Harris.
«The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,» Biden said, adding, «His demonisation of Latinos is unconscionable and it's un-American.»
