Biden White House accused by the GOP of committing this brutal crime

The Biden/Harris admin has been a disaster. Now they’re breaking laws to add onto their already poor track record.

And the Biden White House has been accused by the GOP of committing this truly disturbing crime.

House Republicans have launched an investigation into the White House’s response to President Joe Biden’s recent remark that called former President Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage.”

The comment was made to a Latino voting group after a comedian at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally over the weekend joked about Puerto Rico being an “island of garbage.”

In a letter addressed to White House Counsel Edward Siskel, House GOP Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik (R-NY) and Oversight Chairman James Comer (R-KY) alleged that the White House may have broken federal law by releasing what they describe as a “false transcript” of Biden’s remarks.

They argue this action was intended to benefit Biden’s 2024 opponent, Vice President Kamala Harris.

“Americans were rightfully insulted when President Biden, seeking to boost Ms. Harris’s presidential campaign, referred to an enormous swath of the country as ‘floating … garbage,’” Stefanik and Comer stated.

“President Biden’s vindictive words were unsurprising, given his previous statements regarding people who choose not to vote for his preferred candidate. Unsurprising too were the White House’s actions after he said them. Instead of apologizing or clarifying President Biden’s words, the White House instead sought to change them (despite them being recorded on video) by releasing a false transcript of his remarks.”

“The move is not only craven, but it also appears to be in violation of federal law, including the Presidential Records Act of 1978.”

Stefanik and Comer further emphasized, “White House staff cannot rewrite the words of the President of the United States to be more politically on message. Though President Biden’s relevance continues to diminish, his words continue to matter, even as they become increasingly divisive and erratic. We write to demand the White House retain and preserve all documents and internal communications regarding President Biden’s statement and the release of the inaccurate transcript. We also demand that the White House issue a corrected transcript with the accurate words.”

As reported by The Daily Wire, Biden stated, “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.” Video footage of the event captures his remarks:

However, the transcript released by the White House offered a different version: “The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter’s — his — his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it’s un-American. It’s totally contrary to everything we’ve done, everything we’ve been.”

Journalist Michael Shellenberger criticized the altered transcript, posting on X (formerly Twitter): “The Presidential Records Act prohibits altering official transcripts, which is what the White House did. And the alteration makes no sense. The White House is now claiming Biden was referring to the racism of Trump’s supporters, but the transcript refers to ‘his supporter’s.’”

Biden later attempted to clarify, stating on X, “Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as garbage—which is the only word I can think of to describe it. His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I meant to say. The comments at that rally don’t reflect who we are as a nation.”

Harris also told reporters that she thought Biden “clarified his comments” and said she “strongly” disagreed “with any criticism” of people based on their vote.

In response, Trump made a statement of his own, hopping into a garbage truck in the battleground state of Wisconsin and telling reporters that Biden’s comment was a “disgrace.”
