‘Almost karma on steroids’: Pittsburgh bridge collapses hours before Biden visit

Sky News host Chris Smith says a Pittsburgh bridge collapsing hours before US President Joe Biden arrived to tout his infrastructure bill is “karma on steroids”.

“He arrives in Pittsburgh to tout and flag his $1 trillion infrastructure law, and a bridge there collapses hours before his arrival,” Mr Smith said.

Not sure your Mr Smith understands the terminology he uses here

Just wondering why Pennsylvania didn't spend previous $ given to them to fix bridges. 🤔

Yeh as in Biden was correct to focus on infrastructure. Many more bridges will collapse without urgent action.

Only 5% of BBB alleged 1.9 trillion $ (predicted up. $4trillion ) is for infrastructure in US,much spin here for much hurt economically.

It's more a vindication of the Infrastructure Bill. How dumb is Chris Smith! Not fit to be called a 'journalist'. ThisIsNotJournalism MurdochGutterMedia

It's cool Chris Smith is drunk......again

Decades of neglect means this infrastructure spend is way overdue. The bridge collapse certainly proves the point.

Who the fuck is Chris Smith?

Isn’t the Infrastructure bill aimed at fixing faulty bridges and roads? Kinda strengthens the argument at passing this bill you would think.

Sounds more like sub standard city inspection to me - but this particular news platform never lets the truth get In the way of a Bit of mud slinging.

We keep giving out tax breaks, and yet our countries are falling apart.

but the Manhattan down Chris

Does Chris go to big boy school this year?

Mind your own backyard. What the hell has US got to do with Australia! Aussies are in a debt hole envisaged to get deeper with forthcoming election pork barrelling and you worry about USA politicans.Get your act together.

So Biden's right and the previous govt neglected infrastructure spending.

Chris who?

Why does Sky News Australia host Chris Smith even care about US politics? He can’t vote

This isn't news. It's mad Murdoch land. Not news, a rabble. 'The polling in the blue-ribbon Liberal seats in NSW shows overwhelming support for increasing ABC funding..'

OH so somehow 100yr old bridge falls down and it is Bidens fault in some round about way who has only been President less than a year. Chris Smith is not only biased he is losing the plot.

‘Karma’? Or did the Fates receive a little human -er- assistance, given it was just such damn good marketing? JoeBiden infrastructure pittsburghbridgecollapse
