Biden Accused of False Claim on Driving an 18-Wheeler

President Joe Biden has been slammed for telling yet another lie — and it’s one he’s repeated several times after claiming that he used to “drive an 18-wheeler” truck.

At a speech in Florida at Hillsborough Community College in Tampa Bay, Biden made the false claim about his biography, telling the crowd, “I used to drive an 18-wheeler.”

RNC’s Zach Parkinson, who is also the director of RNC Research, posted the video on X of Biden and said, “There is *zero evidence* that Biden ‘used to drive an 18 wheeler.’”

“The extent of Biden’s trucking experience is that he **rode in** a truck once, for one night in 1973 (he made sure to return home by plane though),” he added, sharing a newspaper clip of Biden’s ride in a truck.

Reminder, there is zero evidence that Biden “used to drive an 18 wheeler.”

“Biden has always been a chronic liar — now, coupled with his cognitive decline, he’s a national security risk,” the official account for RNC Research wrote on X.

CNN ended up fact checking the claim, too, and admitted it is fictional, despite the repeated times the president has used the debunked tale.

“Biden’s claim remains untrue. There is no evidence he ever drove an 18-wheeler,” the outlet reported.

In 2021, during a tour of the Mack Trucks facility, the president claimed, “I used to drive an 18-wheeler, man. I got to,” the Daily Mail noted.

That same year at another event, he told college students, “I used to drive a tractor-trailer. I only did it for part of a summer, but I got my license anyway,” the Daily Mail noted.

Last week, Biden claimed that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan — “Uncle Bosie” — “flew those single-engine planes as reconnaissance over war zones, and he got shot down in [Papua] New Guinea. They never found the body because there used to be, there were a lot of cannibals, for real, in that part of New Guinea.”

Megyn Kelly, the host of “The Megyn Kelly Show” podcast, reacted to Biden’s “Uncle Bosie” tale and said, “He can’t go two seconds with telling another familial lie, something about his background, his son. … The latest one is about Uncle Bosie.”

Kelly then played a clip of Biden’s claim of cannibalism. “Okay, so virtually none of that was true,” she added. “There is a dead uncle. Died in WWII. Was not in a single engine, he was in a double engine plane. Was not shot down. Officials say they don’t know what happened to the plane, both engines failed.”

“There were no cannibals,” Kelly continued, recalling what the survivor of the crash said, “and went on to tell us what happened.”
