'Taking out garbage': Vivek Ramaswamy arrives to campaign event on back of garbage truck | Watch
Vivek Ramaswamy arrived on a garbage truck
The Republicans are doubling down their sarcastic response to Democrat Joe Biden’s gaffe over using the word “garbage” for the people who are voting for Trump.
After Donald Trump, now Vivek Ramaswamy took to the streets on Wednesday (Oct 30) in a garbage truck, reiterating, “We’re not the garbage.”
Indian-American entrepreneur and Republican leader Ramaswamy joined sanitation workers in Charlotte, North Carolina on Wednesday, and wrote on his X post as a response to Biden’s remark, “We’re taking out the garbage.”
In a video shared on X, Ramaswamy was seen operating a garbage truck, greeting sanitation workers, and collecting trash on the streets. The gesture was accompanied by a statement: “America is ready for us to TAKE OUT THE TRASH in this election.”
He also promised to bring this message to an upcoming Trump campaign event.

At the Charlotte rally, Ramaswamy amplified his message by bringing a sanitation worker on stage and calling him the “real” American worker.
“Rode around with Leo today. He’d be better at leading than at least half the mayors or governors in this country,” Ramaswamy said in a follow-up post.
Earlier, Trump also climbed up into a garbage truck during a Wisconsin rally wearing a high-visibility vest and sat down in the passenger seat. He addressed the reporters saying, “How do you like my garbage truck? This is in honour of Kamala and Joe Biden.”
US President Joe Biden on Tuesday (Oct 29) appeared to describe one or some Trump supporters as "garbage."
He later clarified his words, stating that his use of “garbage” referred solely to the comments made at Trump’s rally. “The only garbage I see floating out there is the hateful rhetoric against Puerto Rico and Latinos,” Biden explained on social media.

But Trump seized on Biden’s words, paralleling them to Hillary Clinton’s 2016 “basket of deplorables” remark, which became a rallying cry for Republicans.
