The one reporter who has been central to the Biden White House’s attempted clean-up of Joe Biden calling Donald Trump’s supporters “garbage” Tuesday night has been Politico’s White House bureau chief Jon Lemire.
As RedState readers will recall, Lemire was among the first to report on Biden’s remarks, but instead of providing the full quote in his original write-up, he pieced some of Biden’s words together to suggest Biden wasn’t talking about Trump’s supporters in general being “garbage” but any supporters who agreed with comedian Tony Hinchcliffe about Puerto Rico being a “floating island of garbage.”
My colleague Teri Christoph caught this and documented it:
