The Facts
A report from The Associated Press (AP) has claimed that an official transcript of a call by Pres. Joe Biden earlier this week had been altered by the White House press team without the consent of the administration's Stenography Office.
Biden had stated on a call that "the only garbage" he saw was Donald Trump's supporter's/supporters, with the White House claiming the president referred only to Tony Hinchcliffe, a comedian who described Puerto Rico as an "island of garbage" at a Trump rally, rather than all supporters of the Republican candidate.The comment had been clarified by White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, who described Biden as a "president for all," while an official transcript of Pres. Biden's video call used "supporter's" instead of "supporters."
