Biden Lies (Again) and Stumbles Through Amtrack Speech

Biden: “Anytime I see a train door open, I head for it. By the way, I can say it now since I — there’s different leadership. I used to about 15 percent of the time ride with the engineers. For real. And I’m the only guy, that I’m aware of, when I stopped riding Amtrak, that had a key to get in the back. So, you — you can tell your predecessor, he’s gone.

“1.4 million — excuse me, 1.4 million — 1.4 mile stretch with tight curves so the trains have to slow to 30 miles an hour.”

“When I was vice president, I flew over a million miles on Air Force Two, and I was going home as United States sen — as vice president one. One of the conductors said to me, ‘Hey, Joe, big deal, a million, whatever, 200 — ‘ he said, ‘You’ve traveled over a million miles on Amtrak.’ I said, ‘How the hell do you know that?’ And they added it up.”

“I ran for president to build an economy from the bottom up and the middle out, to bring back good-paying jobs you can raise a family on, whether or not you went to college. To give working families a little more breathing room, to invest in ourselves again, to invest in America again. And that’s what we’ve done.”
