Andrew Brisson, the vice president of LoadMaster, a family-owned garbage trucking company based in Norway, Michigan, said he had just sat down to lunch when their secretary received a call from someone asking if it was possible to have a garbage truck hauled away to Green Bay, Wisconsin.

“I didn’t really believe it at first until I picked up the phone and spoke to the guy myself. And then, I guess after a quick conversation, he knew someone I knew in the industry down in the area. I kept walking.” “We looked around our parking lot, found a good-looking garbage truck, jumped in and headed to Green Bay,” Brisson told Fox News host Martha MacCallum.

“Today I called the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico expressed by Trump's supporters at his rally at Madison Square Garden trash – that's the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That's all I wanted.” “The comments at this rally do not reflect who we are as a nation,” said a tweet Tuesday evening from Biden's X account, formerly Twitter.

“When they were all done, I started the truck. I honked the horn and then he looked over at me and said, can you give me a ride in this thing? Yes, I can do that. And you know, I released the parking brake, put the car in drive and drove off,” Brisson recalls. “I think, as Trump said, we only moved a foot or two and then the Secret Service started glaring at me and waving their hands and that was the end of the ride.”
