Former television host Megyn Kelly, known for her time on Fox News and NBC and now a host on SiriusXM, shared her Halloween costume on Thursday, sparking discussion on social media.
The costume, featuring a black garbage bag paired with a red “Make America Great Again” hat, was accompanied by her tweet: “Happy Halloween Garbage People!” This reference ties to a recent statement from President Joe Biden, which some Trump supporters interpreted as a criticism directed at them.
The context stems from a recent rally where comedian Tony Hinchcliffe, opening for Trump at Madison Square Garden, made a comment about Puerto Rico, referring to it as an “island of garbage.” When asked to clarify, President Biden stated he was addressing Hinchcliffe’s language, not Trump supporters directly.
The incident echoes similar moments in recent political history, such as when Trump supporters embraced the term “deplorable” after Hillary Clinton used it during the 2016 election. The back-and-forth comes as Trump has also referred to America as a “garbage can for the world” during speeches leading up to the 2024 election.
