First lady Jill Biden's former press secretary is torching the White House's attempt to cover up President Biden's "garbage" comment, calling it a "bonehead move" that they have attempted before.
The president unleashed a storm of controversy by calling supporters of former President Donald Trump "garbage" on a Tuesday call with Hispanic activist group Voto Latino.
During the call, Biden criticized Trump's Madison Square Garden rally for a comedian's joke calling Puerto Rico a "floating island of garbage," saying that "the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters."
After the call, the White House released an official transcript of the call in which Biden's comment was written as "the only garbage I see floating out there is his supporter's," insinuating that the president was referring to the comedian instead of all Trump supporters.

"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," read the transcript.
Posting a screenshot of the transcript to social media, Andrew Bates, the White House senior deputy press secretary and deputy assistant to the president, claimed that Biden "referred to the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally as 'garbage.'"
