Everybody knows that Joe Biden has, for decades, demonstrated a big affinity for his beloved choo-choo trains. As a matter of fact, Biden has even earned (and by "earned" I mean he gave it to himself) the nickname "Amtrak Joe." Naturally Biden can't just say he likes to take the train, but of course he feels compelled to lie about the subject:
Joe Biden repeated an untrue story for at least the eighth time on Monday claiming an Amtrak conductor congratulated him for racking up one million miles on the train commuting between Wilmington, Delaware and Washington, D.C.
The president has told this fabricated story since at least his 2020 presidential campaign. Standing beside Maryland Governor We Moore, Biden told the often-repeated story as part of his remarks kicking off a new project to replace a train tunnel in Baltimore built in the 1870s
[...]
Biden, who has been called 'Amtrak Joe' due to his affinity for the train, has told the story several times of his Amtrak conductor friend Angelo Negri, who is at the center of the story. Negri, however, had been dead for more than a year – and retired for more than two decades – before the earliest moment Biden could have had this conversation as vice president.
