Did White House change Biden’s ‘garbage statement’ on Trump supporters?
President Joe Biden’s critique of a Trump rally attendee’s comment on Puerto Rico sparked controversy after his remarks were softened in the official White House transcript. Biden’s heated response likened the Trump supporter’s rhetoric to “garbage”, drawing backlash from Republicans. Despite clarifications, the incident reminded many of Hillary Clinton’s “basket of deplorables” comment, with Trump’s campaign capitalizing on the moment.
