FALSEHOOD #50: Biden told a false story about an Amtrak conductor.

EXPLANATION: On several occasions, Biden has told the false story of Amtrak conductor, Angelo Negri, telling Biden that he traveled a greater number of miles on Amtrak trains than miles on Air Force planes.

This story can’t possibly be true. At the time Biden said it took place, Negri had already been dead for over a year.
