Joe Biden Sparks Confusion with Claim He ‘Used to Drive an 18-Wheeler’
breitbart.com ^ | 7/28/2021 | Simon Kent

President Joe Biden used a visit to a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania on Wednesday to roll up his sleeves and assert solidarity with the workers, telling them “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man.” He offered no evidence to support the boast.

RNC Research shared the video of Biden and captioned it “Joe Biden, a career politician who has been in politics for 48 years, claims he “used to drive an 18 wheeler.”

RNC Director Zach Parkinson said there was “zero evidence that Biden used to drive an 18 wheeler.”

“The extent of Biden’s trucking experience is that he **rode in** a truck once, for one night in 1973 (he made sure to return home by plane though),” he tweeted.

Parkinson also shared an Associated Press article about Biden’s 1973 journey, which was headlined “Senator observes truckers’ woes.” That article said: “Biden takes 550-mile ride.”

Fox News later pressed the White House on Biden’s claim with a spokesperson observing the president “rode” in a truck back in 1973.

The spokesperson shared with Fox News a 1973 article from the Wilmington Evening Journal showing the president sitting in an 18-wheeler, not driving it.

The president’s spokesperson pointed to a United Federation of Teachers post that touched on Biden driving a school bus in the past as a summer job.

During his speech in Pennsylvania, Biden also joked about wanting to drive a truck.

“Well, I’m not going to say anything; I just came to drive a truck,” the president said. “And I’m not sure which one I want to drive. That one? There’s one back in the corner you can’t see. It’s the biggest damn pick-up truck you ever saw in your life.”

He was puffing this sorta junk out his butt long before his dementia. He always created his own story rather than reality.

‘Sparks confusion’, my ass. This dipstick just makes it up and gets away with it. Been doing it for decades.

Is he senile? Yeah, probably. But he’s also just a habitual liar.

Biden: Can I really drive an 18 wheeler?

Well, I stayed in a Holiday Inn last night.

It is no confusion. It is a lie. Or dementia delusion of a false memory.

Riding in a truck may have morphed in Biden’s declining brain into “driving” one.

Did he also lead the charge at Manassas? On both sides since he was confused which side he was on.

This story was posted yesterday and some FREEPER commented that CORN POP was the dispatcher.

Funny even if a re-run.

Biden: I think my load is a whole bunch of sod. Corn Pop told me I am hauling a semi of grass today. Those people will be so happy to have nice lawns.

Hah! Just like that Mafia boss who wandered the streets in his robe and faked mental illness as cover for his crimes and to avoid arrest-except Biden isn’t faking it...

Just a thought . . . Has anyone noticed how the COVID restrictions and bad news are really ramping up a lot more since Biden has become even more out of touch? This is a good excuse to put him back in hibernation.

White House claims he once ‘drove a school bus as a summer job.” Yeah, that makes sense.

I’m bad at doing impressions but here’s my impersonation of Sleepy Joe: “I made some posts on freerepublic which means I invented the Internet.”

I thought he was a Life guard, with Corn Pop.

Sparks “confusion”? In whom?

Lefty sycophants and presstitutes?

More like derision and laughter from anyone sane.
