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.
