President Biden continues to face criticism for making false claims about his activities, with the latest being his assertion that he visited the site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore the day after the tragedy. In reality, Biden did not visit the site until more than a week after the bridge collapsed as a result of a cargo ship collision in March. He faced further backlash when he promised to allocate “60 zillion” U.S. funds to rebuild the bridge, a statement that was met with skepticism and doubt.
Amidst these false claims, Biden’s attempt to gain support from Black voters has also come under scrutiny. His speech at a small gathering in Baltimore, where he attempted to appeal to Black voters, was described as botched. Furthermore, recent polls indicate that Black voters are turning away from the president in favor of former President Donald Trump in the upcoming election.
Liar in Chief President Joe Biden once again falsely claimed he did something despite evidence he did not.

During his speech, Biden accused Trump of being racist and referenced the events of January 6th at the Capitol, insinuating that Trump would have responded differently if Black Americans had been involved. However, Biden’s remarks failed to acknowledge the fact that many Black Americans were charged in connection with the Capitol breach, despite engaging in peaceful protests following the 2020 election.
This is not the first instance of Biden making false claims about his visits to significant locations. On the anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, Biden stated that he had visited Ground Zero the day after the tragedy, when in fact, he did not visit until nine days later. These repeated instances of misinformation have raised concerns about the president’s credibility and honesty.
