Apostrophe
Did Joe Biden say:
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.
Or did Joe Biden say:
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.
There is an obvious third option:
The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters’ – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.
Is the ‘garbage’ the demonisation of Latinos by his support act; his supporters as a group; or the demonisation of Latinos by his supporters as a group?
The context may be offensive and absurd, but there’s something comfortingly twee, normal, and reassuring about a dispute over an apostrophe amid an election of extreme rhetoric.
