US President Joe Biden was mocked following a controversial statement that he made about an Amtrack employee.
On Monday, President Biden once again brought up the story about an Amtrack employee which has been long debunked by multiple fact-checkers online.
While speaking about a new project that is expected to replace train tunnels in Baltimore, Maryland, the 80-year old recalled how “a conductor named Angelo Negri took the time to praise him for logging more miles on Amtrak after he rode the train to and from Washington, D.C., from his home in Delaware for 36 years when he was a U.S. senator,” Redstate reported.
In the statement, Biden described how he “rode the train between Washington and Wilmington back and forth every single day that the Senate was in, and they tell me it was about on average 117 days a year, about 265 miles a day. I put over a million miles on Amtrak, not a joke, including as vice president.”
“When I was vice president, I flew over a million miles on Air Force Two. And I was going home…as vice president, and one of the conductors said to me, ‘Hey, Joe, big deal, a million whatever, 200 —’ he said, ‘You said you have over a million miles on Amtrak. I said, ‘How the hell do you know that?’ And they added it up.” Biden added.

But apparently, the alleged conversation with Negri actually never happened because he died in May 2014. He also retired from Amtrak in 1992 which was 15 years before Biden became the Vice President in 2009.
Following Biden’s claim, host Jimmy Failla mocked The President’s claim for once again repeating a story about the Amtrak employee.
Failla blasted the media for ignoring Biden’s gaffes. The host also warned that the U.S. adversaries are currently watching as the president repeatedly tells falsehoods.
“This is disturbing stuff… Biden’s Amtrak story, it’s like Large Marge in “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.” Pee-wee goes in and mentions someone who had died 12 years ago. Everybody’s like, ‘”[What’s] wrong with this guy?” But in this case, he is the president of the United States. And it’s a shame on the other networks that they don’t highlight this because you know who does pay attention to this? Maybe left-wing media doesn’t, but our enemies do. People are watching our president who quits talking in the middle of a sentence because he’s done… And it’s only going to get worse.” Failla lamented.
