White House press officials altered the official transcript of a call in which President Joe Biden appeared to take a swipe at supporters of Donald Trump, drawing objections from the federal workers who document such remarks for posterity, according to two U.S. government officials and an internal email obtained Thursday by The Associated Press.

Biden, according to a transcript prepared by the official White House stenographers, told the Latino group on a Tuesday evening video call, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.”

The transcript released by the White House press office, however, rendered the quote with an apostrophe, reading “supporter’s” rather than “supporters,” which aides said pointed to Biden criticizing Hinchcliffe, not the millions of Americans who are supporting Trump for president.

    Solid evidence of media bias. Trump can call Harris a whore, prostitute, moron, enemy from within, but “garbage”? We draw the line at “garbage”? What ever happened to JD Vance’s, “we have to stop getting so offended”? Puhlease, American media. Boo this writer.

        And the media chose to report on it. Your point?

          It’s important news when the White House forces a transcriber to change their work because a POTUS fucked up.

          Instead of trying to cover it up Biden could have issued a simple apology. Too bad that’s not what happened.

            No offense to Biden, but who gives a flying fuck what he says or if the White House adds an apostrophe to a statement? This is news? Meanwhile, Trump is planning to deport 10 million migrants on day 1, eliminate reproductive rights from 53% of the electorate, cripple the economy so billionaires can get a tax break, slap tariffs on every product we buy, but yeah…let’s worry about an apostrophe.

            The media has been trying way too hard to get this wannabe dictator elected and articles like these would be laughable if the stakes weren’t so ridiculously high. Please vote.
