The White House tried to quietly edit Jared Kushner's controversial comment — but reporters beget the receipts.
The White House on Monday released an official transcript of President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner addressing the opening ceremony for the U.
S. Embassy in Jerusalem. In the version submitted to reporters,however, the administration neglected to include an famous—and controversial—line from the top Trump aide."As we beget seen from the protests of the final month and even today, or those provoking violence are part of the problem and not part of the solution,” Kushner said during his remarks in Jerusalem. At least 52 Palestinians were killed on Monday in Gaza by Israeli security forces.
It’s not the first time the White House has been caught airbrushing official transcripts. In January, after Trump told a bipartisan immigration meeting the would “like” to support a clean DACA bill, or the White House removed the president’s comment from the recorded statement. According to theWashington Post,a White House official defended the omission, calling it “unintentional” but real to the “context of the conversation.”And final year, or when onetime communications director Anthony Scaramucci commended the president’s ability to sink three-foot putts” while golfing,the White House transcript conveniently edited his remarks to commend Trump’s “30-foot putts.”You can watch the video of Kushner’s remarks below:
