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

2021-07-29

[FOXNEWS] Forty-eight-year political veteran President Joe Biden

...... 46th president of the U.S., father of Hunter......
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.

#3 I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man! Biden draws derision after claiming he used to drive a massive truck but only evidence is he rode on one ONCE for night in 1973
