Biden Repeats Same Debunked Story Twice in One Day
President Joe Biden told the same story, which has previously been debunked by fact checkers, twice in one day at a Bidenomics event in Delaware.
Ahead of a Monday speech, Biden told a group of Amtrak workers an anecdote about a company conductor, Angelo Negri, who marveled at the president’s extensive travel on the train all while pinching the president’s cheeks and exclaiming “Joey, baby!” The president then went onto tell the story again during a speech meant to tout his administration’s new $16.4 billion investment for passenger rail projects along the East Coast. The story, however, was previously deemed “false” by CNN in 2021 who decided that Biden’s story just didn’t add up.
The president has now told the false story at least 12 times, according to the New York Post.
“When I was vice president, I flew over a million miles on Air Force Two, but I traveled further than that on Amtrak over the years,” Biden said during the speech. “I was coming home to see my mom, and I just — she was living at this time, my dad had passed away. And I got on the train on a Friday, and I won’t get him [the Amtrak conductor] into complete trouble, I’ll just tell you his first name, but I’ll just tell you his first name. He was No. 2 in seniority at the time, Angelo.”
“And Ang came up to me as I was walking in, and he said, ‘Joey!’ and he grabbed my cheek, and he said, ‘Joey, Baby!’” Biden continued. (Read more from “Biden Repeats Same Debunked Story Twice in One Day” HERE)
