President Biden on Wednesday falsely claimed he toured the wreckage of the '$60 zillion' Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, the day after it collapsed, even though he didn't visit the site until more than a week after the accident.
President Joe Biden speaks about the PACT Act at the Westwood Park YMCA, Tuesday, May 21, 2024, in Nashua, N.H. President Biden on Wednesday falsely claimed he toured the wreckage of the “$60 zillion” Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, the day after it collapsed, even though he didn’t visit the site until more than a week after the accident.
However, Mr. Biden didn’t travel to the site until April 5, more than a full week after the incident. At the time, the White House said Mr. Biden had to wait until the area was safe for a visit and until his trip would not interfere with efforts to recover the bodies of the six workers killed in the crash.
The president has a long history of claiming to have immediately witnessed or visited the sites of catastrophes. But Mr. Biden didn’t visit Ground Zero until Sept. 20 — nine days after the attack — as part of a 38-senator delegation.
