Biden Repeats False Story 2nd Time in a Week, Marking the 5th Time in His Presidency

President Joe Biden is continuing to share a debunked story about an exchange with a former Amtrak conductor.

During an event in New Jersey on Monday, Biden revived the story as he noted he used to commute on Amtrak every day since he was first elected senator. He added that he would take the train while he was vice president.

The story involves an exchange with former Amtrak conductor, Angelo Negri, that allegedly occurred while he was vice president.

I said, ‘Yeah.’ He said, ‘Big deal…You know how many miles you traveled on Amtrak, Joey?’ And I said, ‘No.’ He said, ‘The boys and I figured it out at the retirement dinner…You traveled 2,200,000 miles.’ I said, ‘How’d you get that Ang?’ He said, ‘Well, 267 miles a day. We figured you traveled 119 days a year for 36 years. Then you traveled as vice president. So, Joey, I don’t want to hear this about the Air Force anymore.”

“I’m a train guy,” Biden added.

“Biden’s account simply does not add up. Biden did not reach the million-miles-flown mark as vice president until September 2015, according to his own
