Biden raises eyebrows with claim he 'used to drive' 18-wheeler truck

"We had two family members that told us stories about great things they did in the past, none of it true of course. Both ended up in rest homes for a few years before passing as there is no cure for mental decline." From comments

The White House struggled to defend Biden's claim  

"Forty-eight-year political veteran President Biden raised eyebrows on Wednesday when he claimed to have driven an 18-wheeler truck — a claim the White House struggled to defend.

"Biden was visiting a Mack Truck facility in Pennsylvania when he made the claim to have driven the massive trucks before, which require a special kind of license.

"I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man," Biden said on Wednesday in a video posted to Twitter. "I got to."

"There is scant evidence that Biden has ever driven an 18-wheeler truck.

"When asked if the president had ever driven such a truck, a White House spokesperson pointed to a December 1973 article from the Wilmington Evening Journal that showed Biden rode in an 18-wheeler on a 536-mile haul to Ohio.

"Fox News pressed the spokesperson about the president’s claim – noting that riding in a truck is not the same as driving one – at which point 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." . . .
