Biden Repeats Debunked Amtrak Story Twice Within an Hour

BEAR, DELAWARE - NOVEMBER 06: U.S. President Joe Biden announces more than $16 billion in new funding for rail projects on the Northeast Corridor while surrounded by trains inside the Amtrak Bear Heavy Maintenance Facility on November 06, 2023 in Bear, Delaware. Last week Biden threatened to veto legislation proposed by House Republicans for FY2024 that would cut Amtrak funding by 64% below the 2023 enacted level. (Photo by Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)

President Joe Biden loves to tell a story of an Amtrak conductor he once knew even though it has been repeatedly debunked.

And on Monday, he told it twice — in an hour.

During a meeting with Amtrak workers, Biden was seen telling a group of employees a story about an encounter with a conductor named Angelo Negri.

In the story, Negri allegedly came up to Biden while he was vice president to discuss a report that he had flown over a million miles on Air Force planes.

“I go to get on the train on a Friday afternoon, and a guy named Angelo… walked up and he goes, ‘Joey baby!’ He grabbed my cheek. And I thought [the Secret Service] were going to shoot him. And I said, ‘What’s the story, Angie?’ And he said, ‘I just read a million two hundred thousand miles, big deal!'” the president said.

Biden added, “He said, ‘You traveled over 1,300,000 miles [on Amtrak].'”

Watch the video below:

Less than an hour later, Biden was delivering remarks and told the same story again.

Biden — for the second time in less than an hour — repeats the widely debunked story about an Amtrak conductor congratulating him for traveling more than a million miles on Amtrak as vice president.

Except the conductor retired in 1993, making the story impossible. pic.twitter.com/fUYb5PvJCC

As CNN pointed out in 2021, the story does not add up.

It explained Negri retired from Amtrak in 1993 and died in May 2014.

Biden did not achieve the mark of flying more than a million miles until September 2015.
