This is reported by the AP news agency on the night of Friday Norwegian time. Among other things, stenographers have the task of reproducing statements correctly so that they are preserved for posterity. Two anonymous sources claim to the AP news agency that the communications department in the White House has changed the official transcript, despite objections from the stenographers. The news agency has also gained access to an internal e-mail in which this appears. It was on Tuesday evening that Biden participated in a video call with an electoral organization for Latinos in the United States – Voto Latino. In the conversation, Biden is said to have used the word “rubbish” about Trump supporters. At the same time, Kamala Harris held a public meeting where she spoke about the importance of unity across party lines. Add apostrophe In the conversation with the organization, Biden said, according to the White House stenographer’s transcript: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters — his — his black-painting of Latinos is unconscionable and it’s un-American” (“The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.». But the transcript released to the outside world by the White House press office included an apostrophe that was not in the stenographers’ transcription. Thus, the content of the opinion changed: “The only trash I see floating around out there is his followers’ – his – his black-painting of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American.” The press department therefore changed “supporters” to “supporter’s”. The White House then stated that Biden was not criticizing Trump’s many millions of supporters, but that it was comedian Tony Hinchcliffe’s rhetoric that the president was criticizing. Biden also sent out a message on X in which he tried to clarify his own statement: The White House claims that Biden criticized the rhetoric of comedian Tony Hinchcliffe. Photo: Evan Vucci / AP / NTB – Earlier today, I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump supporters at the Madison Square Garden rally as garbage, which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His black painting of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at this election rally do not reflect who we are as a nation, Biden wrote on X. Criticism from Trump and Harris Hinchcliffe was one of the guest speakers at Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden in New York City on Sunday. There, the comedian joked about “a floating garbage island”, referring to Puerto Rico. The statement sparked criticism from Democrats, but also Republicans, and Trump has since distanced himself from it. On Tuesday, Biden therefore made a statement about Hinchcliffe’s comment. Comedian Tony Hinchcliffe shocked with several crude and racist jokes at Donald Trump’s election campaign rally in Madison Square Garden on Sunday. Biden’s vice president, the Democrats’ presidential candidate Kamala Harris, did not like the boss’s statement when she commented on it on Wednesday as follows: – Let me make it clear: I completely disagree with any criticism of people based on who they vote for, Harris said on Wednesday. The president’s trashy comment didn’t go unnoticed in the Trump camp either. – These people. Cruel, cruel — cruel to say something like that, Trump said at a rally in Pennsylvania on Tuesday night, while Trump’s running mate JD Vance described Biden’s statement as “disgusting.” Trump himself has distanced himself from the comedian’s Puerto Rico statement. – I don’t know if this is a big deal or not, but I don’t want anyone to make nasty jokes or stupid jokes. He probably shouldn’t have been there,” Trump said of Hinchcliffe to Fox News on Tuesday. – Breach of protocol According to an internal email from the head of the stenographer’s office in the White House, and which AP has read, it says that the change was made after the White House’s press department “confered with the president”. The email’s authenticity is confirmed by two sources in the Biden administration, but who cannot be identified by name as it concerns internal affairs. The stenographers’ chief writes in the e-mail that the press department’s handling of the case is “a breach of protocol and spoiling of transcription integrity between the stenographer and press department”. – If there are differences in the interpretation, the press office can choose to withhold the transcript, but cannot edit it itself, writes the chief of stenographers, and adds: – Our stenographer’s office’s transcript, sent out to our distribution channels, which includes the national archive, is now very different from the version that was edited and published to the public by the press office’s staff, writes the stenographers’ manager. Trump with the garbage man stunt The head of the stenographers will not comment on the matter to the AP and refers the press department in the White House for further questions. There, AP receives the following statement from press spokesman Andrew Bates: – The president confirmed in his tweet on Tuesday evening that he was referring to the hateful rhetoric from the comedian at Trump’s Madison Square Garden meeting. It is reflected in the print, says Bates. The Republican presidential candidate appeared in Green Bay wearing a garbage collection uniform and driving a garbage truck from the airport to the sports arena where he was to speak. Trump took advantage of the situation for what it was worth on Wednesday when he stepped off his plane, wearing a reflective vest, at an event at an airport in Green Bay, Wisconsin. There he climbed into the cab of a garbage truck with a MAGA logo, and answered questions from journalists. – What do you think of my garbage truck? This garbage truck is in honor of Kamala and Joe Biden, Trump said. Published 01.11.2024, at 04.41 Updated 01.11.2024, at 05.04
