Biden uses Beau's death for political points, again

The look one gets when one's pants are on fire

Well, Joe Biden finally got around to visiting the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Maryland where he lied last week claiming he used to go over that bridge on a train when the bridge has no train tracks to make that possible. 

But at least he got around to actually going there this Friday to see the devastation of the disaster that pulled the structure down where six people lost their lives. And since people lost their lives, it was Biden's opportunity to make that about himself and his son, Beau, so that he could play on people's empathy.

"Well, to all the families and loved ones who are grieving: I’ve come here to grieve with you. We all are," he said. "It’s not the same, but I know a little bit about what it’s like to lose a piece of your soul — to get that phone call in the middle of the night to say family members are gone. I’ve been there. It’s feeling like having a black hole in your chest, like you’re being sucked in, unable to breathe. The anger, the pain, the depth of the loss is so profound." Yadda, yadda.

The Houseplant in Chief added, "And we know it’s hard to believe, and you’re probably not going to believe me, but I can tell you now from personal experience: The day is going to come when the memory of your loved one, as you walk by that park or the church or something that you shared together, it’s going to bring a smile to your lips before it brings a tear to your eye."

Biden's go-to dead person is his son, Beau, who died of brain cancer in 2015, although Joe would have us believe he died in combat. And no, Biden didn't get a call "in the middle of the night" because he was there when Beau died at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center.

NBC News reported Beau's death thus:

Joseph "Beau" Biden III, 46, was hospitalized earlier this month at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. He died Saturday evening surrounded by his family, the vice president’s office said.

While it seems as if he was talking about his son to those in Baltimore who lost loved ones in the incident, he may have actually been referring to the deaths of his first wife Neilia, and infant daughter Naomi. However, they didn't die "in the middle of the night" either--the car crash that claimed their lives  occurred in the afternoon, around 2:30 pm. 

So with all said and done, here's how Joe Biden found out:

As Joe recalled in Promises to Keep, he knew something terrible had happened after watching his sister answer the phone at his office that afternoon, a tangible feeling of Neilia's loss heightening when Valerie suggested they return home because of a "slight accident."

"She's dead, isn't she?" Joe said.

So whether it's the Beau story or the wife and daughter story, it really doesn't matter. Joe Biden is a serial liar and an incompetent President who needs to be defeated in this presidential election. One may not like Trump's often abrasive personality, but I'd rather have that and competence, than an incompetent, senile liar who can't find his way offstage.

Joe Biden is able to make the Francis Scott Key Bridge about himself

By now, most every American knows about the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse. It's a tragedy that has apparently claimed the lives of at least six people, two whose bodies have been recovered by divers.

The incident happened just before 01:30 on Tuesday when the container ship Dali struck the bridge, located in Baltimore, Maryland. It collapsed within seconds. There were eight workers reportedly on the structure at the time it was struck, and the search for the remaining four people continues.

The catastrophe was so bad that even Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg went to see the damage and make speeches about it. So too did the Governor of Maryland, Wes Moore (D) who spoke about the heroism of the first responders. He also mentioned that the Baltimore seaport is the largest in the country and that the devastation is going to cost the nation dearly. 

Joe Biden also spoke about the incident and said that he wants the federal government to pay for the cost of rebuilding the bridge. He apparently saw that as the most important thing on his 'to do list,' instead of focusing on the people who are missing.

"It’s my intention that federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge," he mumbled, "and I expect to — the Congress to support my effort."

And in typical Biden fashion, he made the situation about himself, claiming that he took the train over the bridge many, many times.

"At about 1:30, 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," he said. "I’ve been to Baltimore Harbor many times. And the bridge collapsed, sending several people and vehicles into the water — into the river. "

Thankfully no trains were actually crossing the bridge at the time of the tragedy, but that would have been unlikely anyway because trains do not use the bridge--there are not tracks on the bridge. Joe lies whenever his lips are moving while the press and his cronies stand around him and applaud.

JUST IN: President Biden reveals that he took the train over the Francis Scott Key Bridge "many times" during his commute even though the bridge didn't have train tracks.

Very impressive!

Perhaps if the Francis Scott Key Bridge had tracks, trains might ride along them and chug, chug, chug along and Biden wouldn't sound like a nursing home patient on one hand, and an uncaring hack on the other.

Perhaps Biden lied about the train, like he did in the past about Amtrak and used it for his presidential runs. I'm just surprised he didn't say something like how he once saved a woman tied to the tracks by the Israelis.
