It was not immediately clear why the sedan smashed into an SUV that was part of the motorcade. The driver was surrounded by agents who had their guns drawn.
A sedan smacked into a Secret Service vehicle that was part of President Joe Biden’s motorcade in Delaware on Sunday night.
Following the crash, U.S. Secret Service agents whisked Biden into a vehicle.
Agents quickly surrounded the sedan with guns drawn and aimed at its driver, who had his hands up. The cause of the crash was not immediately clear.
Special Agent Steve Kopek, a Secret Service spokesperson, said the vehicle that struck was securing Biden’s motorcade route.
If this was just a DUI or something, the driver is going to have a very very bad time.
A car accident is horrifying enough. Can you imagine realizing you just hit the presidential motorcade? In Delaware?
Is Delaware worse for some reason?
Just the realization that you’re in Delaware is enough.
Like, who even lives in Delaware?
Mostly corporations.
So…lottsa people /s
I remember the first time I met a person from Delaware. I was shocked. I think I said to them, “I didn’t know anyone actually lived there.”
Maybe we just don’t know what they do about Delaware and that’s why they never leave. It’s a paradise beyond paradises.
I’ll have to know, there are dozens of us
Biden
Can you even call that living?
All the corporations ever. Wonder if they count for the population since they became people.
Beware, Delaware.
Delawhat?
Delamain. Wake up, Samurai
Delawho?
I believe it’s Biden’s home state, so people around there probably love him. Can’t imagine being very popular with your neighbors once news gets out.
On the other hand, the driver probably has a uniquely high chance of a presidential pardon. Seeing how the president is already aware of his case.
The president could only ask the delaware governor to grant one.
Good eye skimmed over the Delaware part. Assuming it was a DUI (and not an intentional attack) it’d be state jurisdiction.
Yeah, he might catch some federal flack, but it seems most of his issues will be state affairs unless this wasn’t just hitting the worst possible car.
Even if he were a drunk terrorist, the feds would handle the attack, and as long he isn’t charged federally (if one even could be), the state can still slap an everyday DUI there.
If he gets pardoned and it happens again can he use the same pardon twice?
Non-joke answer: Pardons are for a person’s actions not the person in general. He would need a second pardon.
Thats an interesting distinction :) Can you talk more about that?
If it doesn’t work for farts, probably not
Immediately disappeared to a black site.
Yeah I was hoping for an update, but I just realized the Secret Service is going to be up this guy’s ass like a colonoscopy for a long time before we hear anything.
Decidedly one of the worst hangovers anyone’s ever had. “What happened last ni-oh my God”
To be fair, he shouldn’t suffer any greater punishment than if he had hit into anyone else.
