President Biden has been met with a wave of criticism and disbelief on social media following his assertion that he was present during a bridge collapse in Pittsburgh last year.
During a visit to Ingeteam, a wind turbine generator manufacturer in Milwaukee, Biden was promoting his economic policies when he made reference to the 2022 bridge collapse. Addressing the crowd, he said, "A lot of you were with me when I was in Pittsburgh," adding, "By the way, Pittsburgh is a city of bridges more bridges in Pittsburgh than any other city in America."
Biden then stated, "I watched that bridge collapse," and continued, "I got there and saw it collapse with over 200 feet off the ground going over a valley. It collapsed. Thank God school was out during the pandemic."
His remarks were captured on video and quickly spread across X, the platform formerly known as Twitter.
David Giglio, a former congressional candidate, responded with sarcasm, saying, "Must have happened during one of his long-haul trucking routes," referencing another of Biden's controversial claims.
Paul Bedard, a White House correspondent for the Washington Times, sought to clarify the situation, writing, "He showed up hours later since he was in town on an infrastructure mission..."
Sean Parnell, host of the Battleground podcast, expressed disbelief at the presidents comments, writing, "I can assure you Biden did not personally watch a bridge collapse here in Pittsburgh," adding, "My lord"
Outkick broadcaster Dan Kakich criticized the president, saying, "Another day another lie why is this tolerated," while Sunny McSunnyface, a popular conservative personality, wrote, "He literally can't get through a speech without objectively lying," suggesting the need for a tracker to monitor presidential untruths.
PGA Tour golfer Hunter Mahan commented, "Incredible how often he lies," and Jim Iuorio, host of the Futures Edge Podcast, added, "Realistically not a gotchaJoe has been making up his own reality for 50 years in public life only to keep moving aheadtop of my class,"
