It isn't necessary to apologize.

There isn't anyone from the Trump camp apologizing.

It is amazing how the Republicans can make such horrible remarks and get away with it. Not only get away with it, but, double down on it.

Then the Democrats, in this case President Biden, run to protect the minority group from the really lousy words of Trump and his minions and then an apology is demanded.

Well. I don't think so.

President Biden was insulted by the words being spoken in New York City by a candidate for the presidency. He did not blatantly state "garbage" as if an insult pulled out of thin air. He spoke it in horror of the potential and violent fallout that most likely will occur of a dear group of minority Americans and the island nation we hold dear as a territory to this great country.

...Biden (click here) was responding on Tuesday to comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, who called Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage" at the rally on Sunday and also disparaged Black Americans, Jewish people, Palestinians and Latinos....

It is admirable that President Biden, in thinking twice about the comment, came to apologize so as to not insult the entire number of Republicans in the USA. But, quite frankly those Republican voters should be as appalled as President Biden by those words at a political rally.

The rally in New York City that was conducted and sanctioned by Trump and the Republican Party was another example of political violence. The words were all inflammatory and the potential real harm to real Americans they can cause in this great country is a shame.

That is the truth of the matter.

That is the truth of the matter.

That is the truth of the matter.

President Biden felt compelled to protect citizens because of the violent speeches at a political rally of a candidate for president. The truth is the rally in New York City was purposeful for Trump. It was a call to arms no different than his speech on January 6, 2021. It is the same violence Trump is organizing for when he loses the election.

The people that should be apologizing are the Republicans and their candidates that enthusiastically enjoy such violent gatherings.

...Hurricane Maria (click here) brought 155 mph winds as it made landfall near the city of Yabucoa, on the southeast portion of the island, on Sept. 20, 2017. The storm knocked out 95% of cell towers, leaving residents without the ability to communicate. Power, already scarce due to Hurricane Irma just weeks before, was knocked out on the entire island. Flooding on the island was rampant, with 13 locations reaching record flood stage, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Structural damage to buildings was widespread, and nearly all road signs and traffic lights were destroyed, officials said....

Are those words of hate going to be spoken by the Republicans about Western North Carolina and eastern Tennessee in seven years?

Will the Republicans be throwing towels to the residents there after the election?

Joe and Kamala never threw papers towels at the magnificent people of Puerto Rico. They are providing deadly disinformation to the resident of the areas of the USA destroyed by Helene either.

The Biden-Harris Administration (click here) is committed to supporting Puerto Rico’s recovery and renewal. In 2021, President Biden unlocked billions of dollars in disaster funding and enacted historic expansions of economic and healthcare assistance programs for Puerto Rico. Since then, the Biden-Harris Administration has built on these unprecedented investments to ensure Puerto Rico has a strong foundation for sustained growth....

Why did it take until 2021 to unlock billions of dollars of disaster funding for Puerto Rico?
