WASHINGTON (AP) — President Joe Biden responded to a question about inflation on Monday by calling a Fox News reporter a vulgarity.
The president was in the East Room of the White House for a meeting of his Competition Council, which is focused on changing regulations and enforcing laws to help consumers deal with high prices. Reporters in the room shouted a number of questions after Biden’s remarks.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy asked Biden about inflation, which is at a nearly 40-year high and has hurt the president’s public approval. Doocy’s network has been relentlessly critical of Biden.
Doocy called out, “Do you think inflation is a political liability ahead of the midterms?”
Biden responded with sarcasm, “It’s a great asset — more inflation.” Then he shook his head and added, “What a stupid son of a bitch.”
His comments were captured on video and by the microphone in front of him. Doocy laughed it off in a subsequent appearance on his network, joking, “Nobody has fact-checked him yet and said it’s not true.”
The White House did not immediately responded to a request for comment.

“...Doocy lapping up the ridiculous apology”
I dunno....
Doocy says Biden told him “it’s nothing personal pal” — that’s no more than a statement of fact; says nothing about whether or not Doocy believes it.
Doocy says he appreciated Biden reaching out.
Doocy appreciating the call as a polite gesture DOESN’T mean he doesn’t ALSO view it as a hollow one.
There’s what Doocy said.
And there’s what Doocy thinks.
I’d bet he thinks plenty that he’s not gonna say.
When even the MSM AP calls out Brandon, he needs a permanent time-out.
Meanwhile, many media companies, and Titleist golf balls, censor “Let’s go Brandon”.
Did Biden get in an argument with Doocy’s mother?
Let’s also remember Bush calling a Clymer a “major-league ahole”.
At this point he should cut Biden some slack. Everyone knows that Joe has dementia.
Big Time!
When you are named Peter Douche is SOB really a put down?
LMAO
omg.. the pearl clutchers that hated Trump for being so mean are going to be soooooooooo disappointed now!
they hated Biden and all his policies, but wanted to stop the mean tweets and words of Trump.
Expect Bidens numbers to fall further.
Such belligerent behavior is likely a sign of increasing dementia. At least Doocey wasn’t called a dog faced pony soldier
Which junkyard, what year? (Did Sheriff ‘Slim’ Gabrel chase him off?)
SARCASM??? I don’t think so....I think Brandon LOVES MORE INFLATION! ANYTHING to RUIN Americans lives!!
I think Peter is a LIGHTWEIGHT! Especially with PSTUPID.....she gets him EVERYTIME!
