After the Francis Scott Key bridge in Baltimore was destroyed by a Singaporean shipping vessel, Joe Biden bizarrely claimed that the U.S. federal government would foot the bill for the repair.
“It is my intention that the federal government will pay for the entire cost of reconstructing that bridge. And I expect Congress to support my effort,” Biden said during a press event.
However, as is pretty typical for this clown show of an administration, a top cabinet official swooped in and basically said not to believe anything the bumbling old idiot says!
When an MSNBC anchor asked Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen to clarify if taxpayers will “be on the hook” for fixing the bridge, Yellen suggested she had no clue why Biden would say such a thing.
“My expectation would be that ultimately there’ll be insurance payments in part to cover this,” she said.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg similarly said that the vessel “will be held accountable.”
Biden’s original comments were rather strange because they led to the speculation that the federal government secretly suspected there was some foul play involved in the collapse of this bridge and wanted to keep it secret from the public – which would be rather difficult with insurance adjusters poking around the scene.
How many times are people going to have to step in to save Joe Biden from making disastrous comments like this one?
