Fact Check: Joe Biden, 81, (Again) Claims He ‘Used to Drive an 18-Wheeler‘
Breitbart | 04/25/2024 | WENDELL HUSEBØCLAIM: President Joe Biden recently aired his oft-repeated claim he “used to drive an 18-wheeler.”
VERDICT: False.
“Biden’s claim remains untrue. There is no evidence he ever drove an 18-wheeler,” CNN reported Wednesday:
Biden has repeatedly embellished or invented biographical tidbits. In 2021, he claimed during a tour of a Mack Trucks facility: “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man,” then added, “I got to.” At a separate 2021 event, he told college students studying truck technology, “I used to drive a tractor-trailer,” adding, “I only did it for part of a summer, but I got my license anyway.”
Biden’s claims were fact-checked at the time as false. But on Tuesday, during a campaign event in Florida, Biden said it again.
…
When CNN inquired about the claim in 2021, the White House noted that Biden once had a part-time job driving a school bus (which is not an 18-wheeler or a tractor-trailer)
I wonder why he got fired from that …
and that, as a US senator in 1973, he spent a night riding in a cargo truck (not driving it).
He drove the short bus and that’s it.
The man IS a short bus.
Correct. I digress.
It’s impossible to know how many wheels he drove, they continually fall off…
He never had a date until after college. He was always the 5th Wheel but he won’t admit it and always says he was a temporary member of the 5th Dimension.
How’d he lose that job?
No hair sniffin’ on the bus! C’mon Joe, they’re only twelve! That’s no joke, man!
