Biden claims he had Amtrak train key, rode home 15% of time with engineers
2023-01-31
[NY Post] Suuuuurrre you did, puddinghead
President Biden claimed Monday that he had an Amtrak train key when he was a senator and would ride "about 15% of the time" with engineers on trips home to Delaware.

The 80-year-old president shared the memory in Baltimore while touting $4 billion from his $1.2 trillion bipartisan infrastructure law that will be used to build a pair of train tunnels in the city to replace a passage from 1873.

"I can say it now since there’s different leadership. I used to about 15% 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," Biden said.

It’s unclear if Biden has told the story before, though he regularly shares personal anecdotes that fall apart under scrutiny.

Amtrak spokespeople did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

Biden noted in Baltimore that he regularly rode Amtrak home to Wilmington while in the Senate.

#5  Maybe once or twice, but the insurance and safety people in HR would scream if it was (quote) 15% (un-quote).

#4  A delusional farce, and the Washington establishment is so corrupted by special interests, graft, political power brokers and vast sums of foreign money, that they vie for advantage to manipulate this demented, angry, corrupt old man, this Marionette, instead of their sworn duty to protect the American people and removing this cancer on our body politic!

#3  No way they would not have dwarf tossed into a sycamore a trunk at speed when he offered them a free leg hair rub.

#2  But only when they, the engineers, brought their juvenile daughters in for "bring your kids to work" (and a hair sniffin') day.
