Biden has been caught telling non truths on several occasions, however none were as blatant as Monday…
The New York Post reported, President Biden on Monday repeated — for the fifth time this year — a made-up story to illustrate his closeness to Amtrak and a former conductor named Angelo Negri.
Biden told the tale — declared “false” by CNN — during a speech at the NJ Transit maintenance facility in Kearny, NJ, as he touted the $1.2 trillion Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill that would boost funding for Amtrak.
Sometimes, the details of this false story merge and change. Usually Biden says the story occurred in his final year of Vice Presidency, this time he did not.
“I apologize because some of you have heard this. When I was vice president, I used to like to take the train home because my mom was very sick and dying. And I’d come home every weekend,” Biden said of his mother who died in the year 2010.
“I’m getting on one Friday and then one of the senior guys on Amtrak, Angelo Negri … walks up to me and he goes, ‘Joey baby!’ He grabs my cheek. And I thought the Secret Service was gonna blow his head off. I swear to God, true story.” The President says as he tells the false story for the 5th time.
Nevertheless, the lying President continued, “I said, ‘What’s up, Ang?’ He said, ‘Joey. I read in a paper. I read in the paper, you traveled 1,000 — 1,200,000 miles on Air Force planes.’ Because they keep meticulous tabs of it.”
“You know how many miles you travel on Amtrak, Joey? … 2,200,000 miles … So Joey, I don’t want to hear this about the Air Force anymore.” Negri said.
It was recovered that the story was false due to the fact that Biden’s “friend” Negri retired from Amtrak in 1993. He would have never worked for the company while Joe Biden was Vice President of the United States.
CNN also alleged that Biden’s flight millage didn’t add up to the story either.
