"To date, the White House has not issued a corrected transcript, and the false transcript remains on the White House webpage," they wrote.

"In this case, it appears the White House is doing so to safeguard Vice President Harris's presidential campaign," they wrote.

The shocking comment came during Biden's remarks to Latino activists regarding comedian Tony Hinchcliffe's comments at a Trump rally. Hinchcliffe referred to Puerto Rico as a "floating island of garbage."

Biden, according to a transcript prepared by the official White House stenographers, told the Latino group on a Tuesday evening video call, "The only garbage I see floating out there is his supporters - his - his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable, and it's un-American."

The transcript released by the White House press office, however, rendered the quote with an apostrophe, reading "supporter's" rather than "supporters."

The letter from the GOP leaders shared their "concern with the latest reporting of the White House's apparent political decision to protect the Biden-Harris Administration, instead of following longstanding and proper protocols."

The transcript standard states that: "If there is a difference in interpretation, the Press Office may choose to withhold the transcript but cannot edit it independently. 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."
