Joe Biden shamelessly inserted himself into the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse by saying that he regularly commuted over the bridge during his days in the Senate.
« At about 1:30, a container ship struck the Francis Scott Key Bridge, which I’ve been over many, many times commuting from the state of Delaware either on a train or by car, » he said.
The problem with this claim is that the four-lane bridge doesn’t have any train tracks on it — just two lanes for car traffic in each direction. So Biden never once took the train over that bridge. As we previously pointed out at PJ Media, he earned a reputation as « Amtrak Joe » for his years of commuting via train while in the Senate.
While many pointed out that Biden had once again embellished his biography with a lie, the left-wing fact-checking site PolitiFact came rushing to his defense.
« President Joe Biden came under criticism following his remarks about the collapse of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge, » the site reported Wednesday.
Some news coverage also focused on Biden’s comments about taking trains.
