That is simply not true.

An isosceles trapezium, which is an isosceles triangle with its odd vertex chopped off by a line parallel to its base will have its non-parallel sides congruent.

Also, there is nothing to prevent one (or both) of the sloping sides being congruent to one of the parallel sides.
