This is unconscionable. A hundred years from now when all of us are dead and historians are trying to understand the world as it was in our time, they will read original and contemporary documents to gain that understanding. Altering transcripts of what the President of the United States actually said is a crime against history and a contemptuous slap of our children’s children. Biden said something stupid. Write down what he said. It’s not that hard.
The White House altered the transcript of President Biden’s controversial “garbage” comment despite the concerns of stenographers, Fox News Digital has confirmed.
In an email viewed by Fox News Digital, a supervisor sounded the alarm on the White House press office’s “breach of protocol and spoilation of transcript integrity between the Stenography and Press Offices.”
“If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently,” the supervisor wrote in the email. “Our Stenography Office transcript — released to our distro, which includes the National Archives — is now different than the version edited and released to the public by Press Office staff.”
Remember how up in arms everyone was when trump had that modified hurricane track drawn on a map? This is ok though?
Jason, I don’t agree with the changing of the transcript. I imagine that there are so many situations we are not aware of thru history.
But, comparing this to Trumps hurricane track is apples and oranges. Trump made a statement about that hurricane hitting Alabama when none of the forecasts projected that, and then had someone use a marker during his speech to include it days later. But, that isn’t altering historical “documents” like the Biden administration did.
It is just another example of Trump doing what Trump always does and not admitting when he was wrong when he talks without any facts and trying to squirrel out of it somehow. One of Trumps many problems is that he can’t EVER admit he was wrong, it is always everyone else and the Fake News. But the Biden thing is worse if you had to put them on a scale.
FWIW, I don’t think that Biden meant that all Trump supporters are garbage. I think he meant the people on the stage with Trump supporting him. But that is obviously NOT how it came out. And the Right has every right to jump on it and use it as they have. It was a bad phrase to use, because we can’t exactly judge him based on what we THINK he meant, just on what he said.

It is just another example of Harris doing what Harris always does and not admitting when she was wrong when she talks without any facts and trying to squirrel out of it somehow. One of Harris’ many problems is that she can’t EVER admit she was wrong, It is always everyone else and the Fake News. But the Biden thing is worse if you had to put them on a scale.
Looking…yep, just as accurate, though the media ‘squirrels’ Harris out of her gaffes for her because if allowed she will just make it worse every time. But you’ll happily vote for one of them. It is a Trump failing, but what, it makes Harris a strong woman? Fortunately for me, fantasy is may favorite genre. I think that is why I can’t help but reply to your commentary…
T. If you are comparing Trump and Harris in this way, you are WAY off base. There are NO arguments by anyone that watched Trump over the past 8 years that one of his biggest personality flaws is his inability to admit he was wrong, even when directly pointed with facts. While any politician is a narcissist to believe that they think they have what it takes to be the President, Trump’s narcissism is at the top of the charts.
Harris rarely has to admit she was wrong because she hasn’t taken a firm stance on hardly anything or made barely any definitive statements. And we will have about 40 hours to see if that strategy pays off for her in the long run.
FWIW. I haven’t “happily voted” for anyone since Obama. But, I vote based on what I think is best for me and the country.
I was taking into account the lying as part of not admitting one is wrong and Kamala pretty much lies about every single issue.
She says there will be a tax cut for the middle class, but right in the Dem plan is a very large increase on payroll taxes. That hits the middle class almost exclusively. And the tax cuts actually in Dem plans have all been for Dem voters. There will be free cash for minority entrepreneurs, first home buyers, more College incentives, all things for people trying to enter the middle class, not those who are there paying the lion’s share of the tax bill. There are billions of dollars already being given to illegal immigrants. Not jobs, no. Just handouts like they do with the bulk of their voters. Trump actually gave us tax cuts. I would rather the deficit continuing to balloon from less taxes coming in from the middle class than from the wild spending that career politicians get so excited about.
She says that Trump will be giving out huge tax breaks to billionaires and she will make them pay their fair share, but past history clearly shows Dems have given the middle class tax hikes and loopholes for the owners. Harris is getting about 50% more money from super donors than Trump and they are not complaining. Dems have a strong history of reward for the rich…that donate to them. Harris has received about 5 times more money from the super rich in the last month and that is not because Trump is promising tax breaks to the super wealthy. There are no actual plans for the ‘fair share’ lie.
KH does not even think there is a problem with open borders. She has talked a little bit about it, but every Dem written plan still allows well over a million per year while the constitution limit is 165/year. Her plan is to re-introduce the very weak sauce ‘bi-partisan’ bill that Trump is blamed for shutting down even while holding no office. And it was shut down for very good reason. It had the media saying how good and strict it was, but it did virtually nothing.
The only issue that Dems still hold to that has value to the middle class is women’s rights. And even those include tampons for boys bathrooms, boys dominating women’s sports and changing with them in the locker rooms afterwards, sex changes for minors and prisoners and on. Meanwhile, even though Trump, Hovde et al have clearly stated they would NOT support a national abortion ban with Trump clearly stating he would veto such a measure even if it was introduced seriously in the House and Senate. Trump’s reasoning has been consistent and sound throughout as well. If killing Roe v Wade (which he had zero to do with) was the correct decision because it should not be a national Gov’t power, it logically follows that every national law concerning abortion will not be any more legal than Roe v Wade. If Dems want it legal as a national law, then just like their gun control crap etc., they need to pass an amendment to the constitution on it.
Every part of the Dem campaign is not just a lie, it is the exact opposite of what they have actually done. On top of that, they accuse Trump of being for their failing platform positions while pretending they are on the opposite side and the blind media lead the blind libs in just printing whatever Dems say regardless of history. Then it is written history that fools like you point to as ‘fact’. Wanna believe that KH is unfit for public office purely on her mental skills, just watch the one debate. She deflected every single question, did not answer one that I remember. Wanna believe that KH is a powerful masterful person who crushed that same debate, just read the CNN critiques and take it at face value.
So no, I do not think I am off base at all. For all his lying, exaggerations, and sometimes silly defenses of earlier gaffes, his track record had a lot of attempts and even a few wins on trying to help the US people as a whole. KH may not have implemented Bidenomics, but she has publicly said she would not have done one thing differently. Biden, KH and Trump have not admitted they were wrong in the 21st century, but that makes them all the same, not WAY different. Very few US politicians have admitted they were wrong on major policy failures. At least Trump had the no support defense for many of his ideas that failed to be implemented. Whoever is elected, neither of them will admit to a mistake in the next 4 years.
I could get partially behind your comment about how KH has not had to admit she was wrong much because she states no policy at all, just gives general platitudes that her minions lap up. But you would think lip service would have been paid about how she just might have made a mistake in letting violent crime illegal immigrant offenders go back into the US public to commit more crimes. In the 80s and 90s at least Dems had their high ideals on civil rights, antiracism, etc., but they have nothing left now, but to cheat in every way possible to win seats in the Government. Everything bad you believe about Trump, KH is just as bad or worse. You have just not read about it because your sources don’t print it.
