‘The White House quickly went into damage control mode’
EXCERPT:
WELKER: “Now, the White House quickly went into damage control mode. The initial White House transcript, as provided to NBC News, suggests Mr. Biden was in fact talking broadly about Trump supporters. But then the White House updated the transcript after a conversation with the president, suggesting he was singling out one particular Trump supporter. Then the president clarified on X that he was referring to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico by a singular Trump supporter. Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre telling reporters he was referring to the comedian who denigrated Puerto Rico at Mr. Trump’s rally.”
