“Within a week, the American people will determine the winner of the 2024 presidential election. They will choose between two candidates: President Donald Trump and Vice President Kamala Harris. President Biden – marred by unpopular policies, scandals and apparent cognitive decline – has chosen not to seek a second term,” they wrote.

“However, President Biden has continued to play a prominent role in Vice President Harris’ campaign and is indeed the most powerful mouthpiece for the Biden-Harris administration’s policies and positions that Ms. Harris is likely to want to continue under a hypothetical Harris-Walz politics. Administration.”

Stefanik and Comer pointed out Biden’s comments on Tuesday night, saying: “Americans were rightly offended when President Biden, in an effort to boost Ms. Harris’ presidential campaign, called a huge swath of the country ‘floating… trash.’

“President Biden’s vindictive words were not surprising given his past statements about people choosing not to vote for his preferred candidate,” they wrote. “Also not surprising were the White House’s actions after he said them.”

Stefanik and Comer said that “rather than apologizing or clarifying President Biden’s words,” the White House tried to “change them (despite being videotaped) by releasing a false transcript of his remarks.”

“This move is not only cowardly, but also appears to violate federal law, including the Presidential Records Act of 1978,” they wrote. “The White House staff cannot rewrite the words of the President of the United States to deliver the message more politically.”

The letter comes after President Biden spoke on a Zoom call on Tuesday with Voto Latino, one of the largest Latino voter and community organizations in the US. Biden was asked about a comment made Sunday at a Trump rally at Madison Square Garden in which comedian Tony Hinchcliffe called Puerto Rico a “floating island of trash.”

Biden responded, “The only trash I see floating out there is his supporters.”

The White House has since denied that Biden called Trump supporters “trash” and claimed the comment was taken out of context.

The White House released a transcript of Biden’s remarks on Wednesday.

The official White House transcript reads: “The only trash I see floating out there is that of his supporters – his – his demonization of Latinos is unconscionable and un-American.”

White House deputy press secretary Andrew Bates attempted to clarify Biden’s comments, saying, “The president called the hateful rhetoric at the Madison Square Garden rally ‘trash.'”

And the president tweeted in a similar vein.

“Earlier today I referred to the hateful rhetoric about Puerto Rico spewed by Trump’s supporter at his Madison Square Garden rally as nonsense — and that’s the only word I can think of to describe it,” Biden wrote to X .’His demonization of Latinos is unconscionable. That’s all I wanted to say. The comments made at that meeting do not reflect who we are as a nation.

Now Vice President Kamala Harris is trying to distance herself from the comments, but she is also defending the president, saying he has “clarified his comments.”

“But let me be clear: I strongly disagree with criticizing people based on who they vote for,” Harris said.

Harris, referring to her speech Tuesday night from the Ellipse near the White House, reiterated Wednesday how voters will decide “who we are as a nation and whether we will be a nation of people who are trying to unite and break this era of independence . division, or will we be a nation with a president sitting in the Oval Office contemplating his list of enemies.

“You heard my speech last night and continuously throughout my career,” Harris said. “I believe the work I do is about representing all people, whether they support me or not, and as President of the United States, I will be a President for all Americans, whether you vote for me or not. “

The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.

In their letter to White House counsel, Stefanik and Comer wrote: “While President Biden’s relevance continues to decline, his words continue to matter even as they become increasingly divisive and erratic.”

Stefanik and Comer demanded that the White House “preserve and preserve all documents and internal communications related to President Biden’s statement and the release of the inaccurate transcript.”

“We also demand that the White House release a corrected transcript with the correct words,” they wrote.

Trump said at a rally in North Carolina on Wednesday that Biden and Harris have “treated our entire country like garbage.”

“My answer to Joe and Kamala is very simple: You can’t lead America if you don’t love Americans,” Trump said. “And you can’t be president if you hate the American people, and there’s a lot of hate out there.”
