President Biden on Wednesday told a false story — for the fourth time since taking office — about an Amtrak conductor named Angelo Negri who supposedly boasted about his train ridership during his final year as vice president.

Negri retired from Amtrak in 1993 and died in May 2014, CNN reported in June — making it impossible for Negri to have spoken with Biden during his final year as VP, which would have been in 2016 or the first month of 2017.

The president retold the tale, which he called “a true story,” in Scranton, Pa., to underscore his commitment to the passenger rail service, which would gain additional funding in the Senate-passed $1.2 billion bipartisan infrastructure bill.

Didn’t he also say that he took Amtrak for the 36 years he was VP?

That the media refers to her as “Dr. Jill Biden” infuriates me.

I have a juris doctor but I don’t call myself a doctor.

The term means something. As in a medical doctor.

Not someone with the easiest doctorate ever.
