On Monday President Biden repeated a story he has been telling since last year. And once again Biden confused events and invented an alternate reality that is difficult to understand.
This time the story was already debunked by CNN on June 30th.
The story that Biden is “misremembering” is all about Amtrak and a former conductor named Angelo Negri.
During a speech at the NJ Transit maintenance facility in Kearny, NJ, Biden was indicating that the $1.2 trillion Senate-passed bipartisan infrastructure bill would boost funding for Amtrak.
“I apologize because some of you have heard this,” Biden opens his talk.
“When I was vice president I used to like to take the train home because my mom was very sick and dying. And I’d come home every weekend,” said Biden. Biden was Vice President from 2009 to 2017. And his mother died in 2010.
“I’m getting on one Friday and then one of the senior guys on Amtrak, Angelo Negri … walks up to me and he goes, ‘Joey baby!’ He grabs my cheek. And I thought the Secret Service was gonna blow his head off. I swear to God, true story.”
