Biden claims he had Amtrak train key, rode home 15% of time with engineers

Biden claimed Monday that he had an Amtrak train key when he was a senator and would ride “about 15% of the time” with engineers on trips home to Delaware.

The 80-year-old president shared the memory in Baltimore while touting $4 billion from his $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law that will be used to build a pair of train tunnels in the city to replace a passage from 1873.

“I can say it now since there’s different leadership. I used to about 15% of the time ride with the engineers, for real. And I’m the only guy that I’m aware of — when I stopped riding Amtrak — that had a key to get in the back,” Biden said.

It’s unclear if Biden has told the story before, though he regularly shares personal anecdotes that fall apart under scrutiny.

Amtrak spokespeople did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Funny, for “Average Joe”, Biden sure does pull the “You know who I am” card to do things no average Joe could get away with.

He enjoys poking the eyes of us commoners.
Or he’s lying again and enjoying that knowing the lapdog media won’t raise a finger.

Is he lying if he is so senile that he thinks his stories are true?

[HartleyMBaldwin]

FJB probably had a gold telegrapher’s key, too.

(I’ll bet nobody remembers that short story by James Street.)

Get his ass to hell out of being POTUS or the C-sucker will have us in a full blown nuclear war.

Three words: President Kamala Harris.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

Didn’t they use coal back in those days? He probably helped shovel the coal into the engine burners too.

Feel free to blame the state legislatures in about 5 or6 states that hate Pres Trump so much and/or are corrupted so much that they’re allowing this to continue.

[qaz123]

Who brings out a number like, 15%, like this? Just odd.

[dvan]

Kamala? Naw Pocahontas came out against Kamala today.
