President Joe Biden has made several comments during his 3 1/2 years in the White House that have forced his communications team to leap into action to try to clean up his words.
On Tuesday evening, Biden started to describe supporters of former President Donald Trump as “garbage” before changing direction midsentence, leaving the White House to claim he was only referring to a comedian who spoke at Trump’s Madison Square Garden rally over the weekend. A transcript pushed by the White House included an apostrophe in “supporters,” attempting to claim Biden was discussing the individual comedian, but the video of Biden did not seem to line up with the alleged transcript.
Tuesday’s attempted damage control by the White House follows several other instances of Biden making comments that had to be amended.
