Biden refers to Fox News correspondent as a "stupid son of a bitch"
President Biden appeared to be caught on a hot mic on Monday, calling a Fox News correspondent a "stupid son of a bitch" after the journalist asked a question about inflation. It's unclear whether the president knew his mic was still on, but the moment was also caught on camera.
"Do you think inflation is a political liability going into the midterms?" Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy could be heard shouting as journalists filed out of the room.
"No, it's a great asset," Mr. Biden muttered sarcastically. "More inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch."

Why Biden’s ‘son of a bitch’ moment is nothing like Trump’s attacks on reporters
On its face, it’s not a big deal.
Joe Biden, thinking his microphone was off, called Fox’s Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a bitch” after the latter lobbed a question to the President about the political impact of high inflation. Once it was clear he was speaking on a hot mic, Biden quickly called to apologize to Doocy.
And, scene. This is just the sort of tempest in the teapot that Washington obsesses over (Biden said a bad word!) and that the average voter couldn’t care less about.
