White House Falsifies Transcript To Cover Up Biden’s ‘Garbage’ Slur

The White House fraudulently edited an official transcript in an attempt to cover up President Joe Biden calling Republican voters “garbage” on video.

Citing “two U.S. government officials and an internal email,” the Associated Press reported Thursday night that White House officials “altered the official transcript” of Biden’s Tuesday night call with Latino activists, in which the president characterized his predecessor’s supporters as trash.

“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters,” Biden said.

“The transcript released by the White House press office, however, rendered the quote with an apostrophe, reading ‘supporter’s’ rather than ‘supporters,’” the AP reported. White House aides inserted the apostrophe to make it look like Biden was criticizing a comedian who appeared at a recent Trump rally in New York City, “not the millions of Americans who are supporting Trump for president.”

The edit by White House staff, however, was met with ethical concerns by official stenographers.

“If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently,” a White House supervisor wrote in an email obtained by the AP. “Our Stenography Office transcript — released to our distro, which includes the National Archives — is now different than the version edited and released to the public by Press Office staff.”

House Republicans warned in a Wednesday letter to White House counsel Ed Siskel that the edits could be a violation of the Presidential Records Act.

Vice President Kamala Harris tried to distance herself from the remark that Trump’s supporters are “garbage,” which Biden made while she delivered her campaign’s “closing argument” from the National Mall Tuesday night.

“Let me be clear, I strongly disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for,” Harris told reporters Wednesday. Last week, however, Harris participated in the media’s hysterical campaign to depict Trump as a 21st-century reincarnation of Adolf Hitler.

“He said he wanted generals like Adolf Hitler had,” Harris said after The Atlantic published a suspiciously-sourced hit on the former president that has been widely debunked.

Trump responded to Biden’s remark by driving to a Wisconsin rally in a garbage truck and speaking to supporters dressed in an orange vest.

“How do you like my garbage truck?” Trump asked reporters. “This truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden.”
