OFF THE RAILS: The story has been fact-checked by multiple outlets, but that hasn't stopped the president from telling it his way.
President Joe Biden repeated a questionable claim that he traveled over one million miles over the"36" years that he traveled on Amtrak in a recent interview.
That claim — which would have put Biden’s Amtrak miles as being even higher than his miles traveled on, according to his own telling of the story — has been repeatedly fact-checked in the past, according to AP, CNN, the New York Post and other outlets. AP continued:"The tale as Biden spins it is wrong. [The conductor] could not have had that conversation because he was already deceased by the time Biden logged 1.2 million miles on Air Force Two," AP reported. CNN also fact-checked Biden in 2021 for"repeating a false story about an Amtrack conductor he knew" named Angelo Negri. "Biden was friends with the Amtrak conductor at the center of the story, Angelo Negri.
