Except he\u2019s President Joe Biden, so you <em>know<\/em> that\u2019s not the case.<\/p>\n<p>On Monday, Biden visited his home state of Delaware to talk about the state of passenger rail in general and Amtrak in particular. (Some of you who have paid attention to the president\u2019s tall tales may see where this going.)<\/p>\n<p>During his speech, Biden emphasized how often he <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/joe-biden-recently-told-bizarre-amtrak-story-details-dont-add\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">rode on Amtrak<\/a> \u2014 and how a certain conductor was fond of reminding him of this \u201cfact.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen I was vice president, I flew over a million miles on Air Force Two, but I traveled further than that on Amtrak over the years,\u201d Biden told the audience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was coming home to see my mom, and I just \u2014 she was living at this time, my dad had passed away. And I got on the train on a Friday, and I won\u2019t get him [the Amtrak conductor] into complete trouble, I\u2019ll just tell you his first name, but I\u2019ll just tell you his first name. He was No. 2 in seniority at the time, Angelo,\u201d Biden said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd Ang came up to me as I was walking in, and he said, \u2018Joey!\u2019 and he grabbed my cheek, and he said, \u2018Joey, Baby!\u2019\u201d Biden continued.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey had just published in the newspaper that I had traveled 1,200,000 miles on Air Force planes as vice president, they published that on a regular basis,\u201d Biden said. \u201cHe said \u2018Big \u2026\u2019 \u2014 I won\u2019t quote him exactly \u2014 but he said, \u2018Big deal, Joey!\u2019<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd I said, \u2018What\u2019s it mean, Ang?\u2019 And he said \u2026 you know how many miles you traveled on Amtrak?\u2019 I said, \u2018No.\u2019 He said, \u2018A million \u2026 [and] 320,000 miles.\u2019 And I said, \u2018How do you figure that?\u2019 And he said, \u2018Well, 180 days a year, almost 300 miles a day, 36 years.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-embed\">\n<\/div>\n<p>The conductor\u2019s name, for the record, is Angelo Negri. I didn\u2019t even need to look it up to fill in that blank. You want to know why? Because the story has been told <em>at least 12<\/em> <em>times during his presidency<\/em>, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2023\/11\/06\/news\/pinocchio-joe-biden-tells-false-amtrak-story-for-12th-time-as-president-at-delaware-rail-event\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">New York Post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>And it\u2019s 100 percent false.<\/p>\n<p>So, here\u2019s the deal: Back when this tale was being told the first few times in 2021, what <a href=\"https:\/\/edition.cnn.com\/2021\/06\/30\/politics\/fact-check-biden-amtrak-angelo-negri-miles-traveled\/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CNN<\/a> termed \u201cconservative media outlets\u201d (Fox News and Red State, in particular) had noticed some, ahem, inconsistencies. Thus did 2021-era CNN \u2014 you know, the network that still employed Chris Cuomo, Don Lemon and Jeff Zucker\u00a0 at that point \u2014 do a \u201cfact check.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>And even CNN, at its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/cnns-chris-cuomo-tells-don-lemon-know-black-inside\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leftist agitprop peak\/nadir<\/a>, came to this conclusion: \u201cBiden keeps repeating a false story about an Amtrak conductor he knew.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBiden\u2019s account simply does not add up,\u201d the fact-check noted. \u201cBiden did not reach the million-miles-flown mark as vice president until September 2015, according to his own past comments. But Negri retired from Amtrak in 1993 and died in May 2014, according to an obituary published online and in the Asbury Park Press, a New Jersey newspaper.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"firefly-poll-container\" class=\"one-half\">\n<div class=\"firefly-poll-question\">Is Joe Biden losing his mind?<\/div>\n<div id=\"pollFormBox\" style=\"display: none\">\n<p>\t\t<label>Yes<\/label><br \/>\n\t\t<label>No<\/label><br \/>\n\t\t<\/p>\n<div class=\"firefly-poll-disclaimer\">\n\t\tCompleting this poll entitles you to The Western Journal news updates free of charge via email.
