On Monday, Jimmy Failla, host of “Fox Across America,” derided President Biden for repeating a lie about an Amtrak employee that fact-checkers have long debunked time and again.
On “Fox & Friends” on Tuesday, Failla slammed the misinformation fake news media for ignoring Biden’s out-and-out lies and warned that the president’s distortions are being watched by US enemies.
The thing is, Biden has to know that the story has been debunked six ways to Sunday, but he keeps repeating it.
Here is how old Joe usually tells it:
“I commuted every single day, 263 miles a day, on Amtrak from the time I got elected United States senator,” the president said. “I got to know all the conductors really well, they became my friends – I mean, really, my genuine friends, I’d have them at my home for Christmas and during the summer.
“And Ange walks up to me and goes, ‘Joey, baby,’ grabs my cheek and I thought the Secret Service was going to blow his head off,” he said.

The lie goes, Negri then told the vice president that he had traveled 2,200,000 miles on Amtrak, according to Biden’s telling.
The problem with Biden’s story? Negri’s obituary says he retired from Amtrak in 1993, while Biden was still a senator. On top of that, Biden’s office celebrated him hitting 1 million miles on Air Force Two in 2015 and Negri passed away the year prior.
And the year it happened always changes too. Sometimes he says it happened in the 7th year of his vice presidency and sometimes the 4th or 5th year.
Failla said, “This is disturbing stuff… Biden’s Amtrak story, it’s like Large Marge in “Pee-wee’s Big Adventure.” Pee-wee goes in and mentions someone who had died 12 years ago. Everybody’s like, ‘”What’s wrong with this guy?” But in this case, he is the president of the United States. And it’s a shame on the other networks that they don’t highlight this because you know who does pay attention to this? Maybe left–wing media doesn’t, but our enemies do. People are watching our president who quits talking in the middle of a sentence because he’s done… And it’s only going to get worse.”
Biden has some tells. Whenever he says, “I’m not lying,” he’s lying. When he says “Not a joke,” he’s lying. If he says, “I swear to God, this is true,” it’s not true.
The Amtrak story is not the only one where Joe Biden lies about things he says happened but didn’t. For example, he says he was a truck driver, and he wasn’t. He said he grew up in Scranton, PA, but his family moved out of the area when Joe was 4 years old. He says he was arrested while visiting Nelson Mandela and that never happened. He said he marched in the Civil Rights movement, but he never did. He said he graduated in the top half of his class in law school and he really graduated at the bottom. Biden has repeatedly lied about anything so long as it fits his current agenda.
Joe Biden’s list of accomplishments may be small, but his list of telling falsehoods is long and growing.
