Biden Claims He Commuted Over Collapsed Baltimore Key Bridge by Train ‘Many Times’ – But It Doesn’t Have Any Rail Lines
President Biden on Tuesday was fact-checked by social media users after claiming that he’s commuted over Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge “many, many times … either on a train or by car.”
Numerous people on X noted that the bridge, which fell into the Patapsco River early Tuesday morning after being struck by a massive cargo ship, has never had rail lines attached to it.
“At about 1:30 [a.m.], 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,” Biden said in his first public remarks on the catastrophe.
“I’ve been to Baltimore Harbor many times,” he added. “And the bridge collapsed, sending several people and vehicles into the water — into the river.”
Biden, who claims to have traveled over one million miles aboard Amtrak over the course of his 36 years in the Senate and 8 years as vice president, was skewered for “inserting himself” into yet another tragedy.
Ummm…what train tracks is he referencing? Because there are none on the Francis Scott Key bridge. https://t.co/q8WH7yyjYX

So many lies! He lies just to lie. There is no value to him inserting himself into this situation.
