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 Spin
Republican narrative
The White House's attempts to brush Biden's unpatriotic and divisive comments under the rug may very well be a federal crime and must be immediately investigated. While House Republicans are already leading the charge to conclude whether the Biden admin. has violated the Presidential Records Act, Americans must take matters into their own hands and make sure the corrupt and dishonest Democrats are no longer in office.
Democratic narrative
In peak hypocrisy, Republicans who adamantly defended Hinchcliffe's distasteful Puerto Rico comments are the first to jump on and twist Biden's words. While the president's remarks may well have been clumsy, they are nothing compared to the dangerous rhetoric Trump and his MAGA movement continue to spew against their fellow Americans when it suits them.
