Biden himself took to social media to say that he he was not calling all Trump supporters garbage and that he was referring specifically to the \u201chateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump\u2019s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The stenographers office is charged with preparing accurate transcripts of public and private remarks of the president for preservation by the National Archives and distribution to the public.<\/p>\n<p>The two-person stenography team on duty that evening \u2014 a \u201ctyper\u201d and \u201cproofer\u201d \u2014 said any edit to the transcript would have to be approved by their supervisor, the head of stenographers\u2019 office. <\/p>\n<p>The supervisor was not immediately available to review the audio, but the press office went ahead and published the altered transcript on the White House website and distributed it to press and on social media in an effort to tamp down the story.<\/p>\n<p>White House senior deputy press secretary Andrew Bates that evening also posted on X the edited version of the quote and wrote that Biden was referring \u201dto the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as \u2018garbage.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The supervisor, a career employee of the White House, raised the concerns about the press office action \u2014 but did not weigh in on the accuracy of the edit \u2014 in an email to White House communications director Ben LaBolt, press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and other press and communications officials. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cRegardless of urgency, it is essential to our transcripts\u2019 authenticity and legitimacy that we adhere to consistent protocol for requesting edits, approval, and release,\u201d the supervisor wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The supervisor declined to comment to The AP and referred questions about the matter to the White House press office.<\/p>\n<p>Asked to comment, Bates did not address the alteration of the transcript and said: \u201cThe President confirmed in his tweet on Tuesday evening that he was addressing the hateful rhetoric from the comedian at Trump\u2019s Madison Square Garden rally.
