CNN: Biden should probably stop telling this story about Amtrak that can't possibly be true

President Biden gave a speech in Philadelphia at the end of April as part of a celebration of Amtrak’s 50th anniversary. During the speech he told a particular story about something that had happened to him during his years as vice president. The story involved an Amtrak conductor named Angelo Negri who had become Biden’s friend over the years. Negri allegedly came up to Biden one day as he was getting on the train to tell him that he had done the math and concluded Biden had traveled 1.5 million miles on Amtrak over the years, even more miles than he’d traveled by air.

But when a few news outlets including Fox News and the Daily Mail looked into it, there were significant problems with the story. The most glaring was that the conductor who had supposedly grabbed Biden’s arm to tell him about the milestone had retired decades earlier. In fact, that particular conductor died a full year before Biden hit the milestone mentioned in the story.

Jump forward to this week and Biden told the same story with the same details.

If Biden rode Amtrak once every week from Wilmington to Washington and back for 48 weeks each year, it would take him over 140 years to reach 1.5 million miles.

Actually, biden rode the train quite a bit. And there were conductors who had him as a regular passenger, and I wouldn't be surprised if biden knew them by name.

I understand that he aways had a ticket for collection, but don't know if the conductors "lifted it" all the time. Probably not...

What difference does it make if Biden lies?  The media will just put out puff piece after puff piece, similar the the Vogue cover story on Jill Biden this week.  He can lie with impunity, forget simple things with impunity, lose his temper with impunity, be incompetent with impunity.  No one in the MSM is going to hold him accountable.

Yes, he used to ride the train. That's the truth. He's just lying about every other aspect of the story. The real story here is that CNN actually mentioned that he's lying.

Now report on the big lies, CNN.
