Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe shocked with several crude jokes at Donald Trump’s election campaign rally in Madison Square Garden on Sunday Biden in severe weather On Tuesday, Biden was in the limelight when he commented on the garbage island description. – The only trash I see floating around out there are his supporters, Biden said in a video call with the non-governmental organization VotoLatino.
