President Biden has repeated a story about an encounter with an Amtrak conductor for the fifth time - even though the man in question was already dead at the time the chat was supposed to have taken place.
The president recalled the encounter with Angelo Negri Wednesday during an appearance touting his ‘Build Back Better’ infrastructure plan in his native hometown of Scranton, Pennsylvania.
He claimed their chat about him traveling two million miles by rail had happened in the seventh year of his vice presidency - 2015 - even though Negri retired from Amtrak in 1993, and died in 2014.
The president is known to have told the same story on four prior occasions, with the first known instance while campaigning to be president in October 2020.
Biden told the tale again in April 2021 while commemorating the 50th anniversary of Amtrak in Philadelphia.
It was rolled out again two months later in June 2021 while hailing his bipartisan infrastructure plans in Wisconsin.
Biden later recounted the story to British Prime Minister Boris Johnson in September 2021, three months after liberal-leaning news outlet CNN calling him out for the apparent deception.
In his latest retelling, Biden explained that when he was vice president, government officials kept track of the mileage that he traveled via air.
He then said that ‘seven years into my tenure as vice president,’ he was informed that he had surpassed the 1 million mile mark in flying on Air Force Two - which is the vice president’s official aircraft.
According to Biden, after reaching the milestone, he was accosted by an old friend, Amtrak conductor Negri, who was adamant that his Amtrak milestone was far more impressive.
‘Joey, baby!’ the president recalled Negri telling him.
‘I thought the Secret Service was going to shoot him.’

Maybe Joe is having chats with ghosts?
Senile old liar.
He stole tge presidency. Of course he lies about o th er things and always has
What idiot would believe these stupid stories?
Precisely
Why is he so obsessed with Amtrak?
"WATCH ME LIE THROUGH MY TEETH."
Slow Joe has always been a moronic thieving liar. The only thing different is he is now senile.
The conductor is still a Biden voter. Why shouldn’t Biden talk with him too?
That entire speech should have been titled “Grandpa Joe’s Fantasy Hour”
So called, “president”
“informed that he had surpassed the 1 million mile mark in flying on Air Force Two “
🚽
Eventually, some brave reporter is going to interrupt Joe’s 20th telling of this fantasy, and finish the story for him. word for word.
Those who believe still believe. No hope for the mentally ill who follow
The story is one of “Joe’s Greatest Hits”. It charted somewhere below “My Wife was Killed by a Drunk Truckdriver” on the Cornpop Billboard 100.
From the interwebs:
Researchers used electroencephalography (EEG) to monitor the brain activity of younger and older adults while they gave truthful and false answers on questionnaires.
In the study, the older cohort, ages 60-92, were significantly more likely than the 18-24-year-olds to accept as the truth a lie they had told less than an hour earlier.
“Older adults have more difficulty distinguishing between what’s real and not real,” says first author Laura Paige, a former graduate student in the lab of Angela Gutchess, an associate professor of psychology at Brandeis University.
*****************
We had a fairly significant event (and mysterious) happen years ago. I recall it very differently than my wife does. I insist that my version is correct. Although I know that, with my wife’s memory, her version is no doubt the correct one!
Only foreign media write these stories.
You will never see our Pravda report such things.
George Costanza:
Jerry, just remember, it’s not a lie if you believe it
So what? The guy was dead. Big deal! It’s not whether the story is true or not, it’s whether Joey met the guy at the polls after he died and Joey believes it so there !!!!
Or something.
