Today Joe Biden is heading to Pittsburgh to sell the infrastructure bill that has already been passed. In related news, a bridge in Pittsburgh just collapsed. What are the chances? Is this the “new and improved” Joe Biden’s attempt at getting a killer photo op?
Fox News reports:
A Pittsburgh bridge collapse caused by a massive gas leak leaves 3 hospitalized and 10 injured at Frick Park early Friday morning, according to Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.
The injured individuals were transported to the hospital with non-life threatening injuries. First responders reported to the scene and rappelled nearly 150 feet to help passengers from a dangling bus, while others formed a human chain to help rescuers with the effort.
The United States Army Reserve (USAR) was deployed to ensure there were no victims under the bridge during the collapse. Darryl Jones, PIttsburgh Fire Chief reported that the gas leak is now “under control.” Jones added that families who were told to evacuate during the leak, have returned home and their gas has been restored.
It’s a miracle that no one was seriously injured but that’s not the only odds-defying thing going on here. How does a gas leak take down a bridge? Especially one that was so easily fixed? I could see if they said the bridge was old and in need of repair or if it was water main break that weakened the supports, but a gas leak?
Maybe this can explain things better:
President Biden, who is expected in Pittsburgh Friday to speak on infrastructure issues, will proceed with his trip as planned, according to a statement from the White House.
“Our team is in touch with state and local officials on the ground as they continue to gather information about the cause of the collapse. The President is grateful to the first responders who rushed to assist the drivers who were on the bridge at the time. The President will proceed with trip planned for today and will stay in touch with officials on the ground about additional assistance we can provide.”
In Pittsburgh, the president looks to tout his $1 trillion infrastructure bill as well as his administration’s economic progress in his first year. Pittsburgh Mayor Ed Gainey emphasized the importance of Biden’s visit given the recent tragedy.
“We know we have bridges we need to take care of. For him coming today to talk about why this funding is so important…this is critical we get this funding,” Gainey said.
But according to the official explanation, it was a gas leak that caused the bridge to collapse, not the age and condition of the bridge.
There are 617,000 bridges in the United States. Only one of them collapsed today and it just so happens that Joe Biden will be where it happened to talk about bridges.
As you know, Joe Biden has been on tour selling the already passed and signed infrastructure bill and much of that involves him talking about how important bridges are. Remember when he lied about his house burning down and his wife barely escaping with her life? He did that on a bridge that needed to be repaired and most of the speech was about how awesome bridges are.
Now, Biden is going to Pittsburgh to continue talking about how awesome bridges are and just by coincidence, a bridge collapsed in Pittsburgh. Biden can then say, “see, I told you we need to fix the bridges.”
Of course when it comes to democrats, there are no coincidences. It won’t be shocking if it turns out the bridge in Pittsburgh collapsed because of sabotage, but it will be a surprise if that’s ever linked to the Biden administration because black ops for a photo op is something the liberal media will never look into.
