Biden Blocks Beltway, Leaving Liberals Livid - Massive CO2 Emitted by Idling Vehicles
EVAN POELLINGER | JUNE 30, 2023
 


President Joe Biden caused a massive traffic backup on the Capital Beltway, leaving hundreds of stagnant drivers, including some of his supporters, fuming for over an hour Tuesday.

Biden was headed for a fundraiser in Chevy Chase, Maryland, and so sections of I-495 were cordoned off in order to make way for the presidential motorcade as Biden proceeded to two campaign receptions in the area.

The lane closures, which came during the evening rush hour, wreaked havoc on commuters. Traffic became stagnant for hours in the areas affected by the road closure, which “caused more than five miles of backups” during the time the lane shutdowns were in effect. In one particularly striking image of the backup, Montgomery County Council President Evan Glass tweeted a picture of himself standing outside of his vehicle in the midst of standstill traffic.

“I knew I should have taken the bus,” Glass quipped.

The unity of government which constitutes you one people is also now dear to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your real independence, the support of your tranquility at home, your peace abroad; of your safety; of your prosperity; of that very liberty which you so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that, from different causes and from different quarters, much pains will be taken, many artifices employed to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth.  George Washington - Farewell Address

The Beltway is shut down for an hour and there are only "hundreds" of cars idling?  Sure, I believe that. :whistle:

Exactly.  Five miles of backups would translate into thousands and thousands of idling cars.
