The White House has reportedly altered the official transcript of a call President Biden did with Latino supporters where he appeared to call Trump supporters ‘garbage.’
The comments were made in response to a joke Tony Hinchcliffe made at Donald Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally about Puerto Rico being a ‘floating island of garbage.’
According to the official transcript prepared by White House stenographers, Biden said on the Tuesday call: ‘The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.’
However, the transcript released by the White House press office altered the word supporters. It said ‘supporter’s’ rather than a plural ‘supporters.’
This change, according to aides, corrects Biden’s statement to imply he was criticizing Hinchcliffe alone, not the millions of Americans voting for Trump, The Associated Press reported.

The change to the transcript was made after the press office ‘conferred with the president,’ according to an internal email from the head of the stenographer’s office.
