Biden’s Lie About Pittsburgh ‘Bridge Collapse’ Draws Backlash, But Says the Worst About the Democratic Party
President Joe Biden recently recounted a story where he claimed to have witnessed the collapse of a bridge in Pittsburgh. However, reports indicate discrepancies in his account.
The collapse, which occurred on Jan. 28, 2022, resulted in injuries to ten individuals, with four requiring hospital care. Despite Biden’s claims of being present during the collapse, reports suggest he was in fact scheduled to visit the city hours after the incident.
White House press secretary Jen Psaki’s statement from the time noted that the President had been informed about the collapse and that he had later visited the site and interacted with rescue and construction workers.
Critics have highlighted this incident as one among several where Biden has allegedly given false or misleading accounts. Some suggest this might indicate a decline in his mental faculties, while others argue that it’s a consistent pattern throughout his political career.
Questions about Biden’s credibility and his family’s dealings contrast with legal challenges faced by former President Donald Trump. Despite these controversies, Democrats seem poised to support Biden for another term. Some speculate this unwavering support stems from the party’s fear of lacking a strong candidate to contest against Trump, should he choose to run again.
These political dynamics emphasize the importance of informed voting and active participation in the upcoming 2024 elections by conservatives, Republicans, and independents.
