White House Alters Biden Transcript Amid Controversy
News summary

The White House altered the official transcript of President Joe Biden's remarks during a call with Latino activists, in which he appeared to disparage Donald Trump supporters as 'garbage'. This change involved modifying the term 'supporters' to 'supporter’s', suggesting he was only criticizing comedian Tony Hinchcliffe rather than all Trump supporters. The modification drew objections from federal stenographers, who warned that it breached protocol and compromised the integrity of historical records. Biden's comments were made in response to a racist joke about Puerto Rico made during a Trump rally, which ignited backlash among Republicans. The internal email confirming the change indicated that it was made after the press office consulted with Biden, despite concerns from stenographers. Trump has since leveraged the incident for fundraising efforts, intensifying the political fallout ahead of the upcoming election.
