President Biden lost his temper at the end of an event at the White House on Monday, insulting a reporter who asked him a question about inflation.<\/p>\n
As a photo op was wrapping up in the East Room, Peter Doocy of Fox News asked Biden whether he believes “inflation is a political liability in the midterms.”<\/p>\n
“It’s a great asset, more inflation,” Biden responded sarcastically. “What a stupid son of a bitch.”<\/p>\n
Doocy quickly hopped on Fox News to laugh about the incident with Jesse Watters.<\/p>\n
“I think the president’s right, you are a stupid SOB,” Watters cackled.<\/p>\n
“Yeah, nobody has fact-checked him yet,” said Doocy.<\/p>\n
Doocy has a history of trolling lawmakers, as Politico<\/em> detailed in a lengthy profile last year. During the 2008 presidential campaign, he asked John McCain whether Hillary Clinton had “finally resorted to hitting the sauce just because of some unfavorable polling” after a photo of Clinton drinking Crown Royal had gone viral. Politico<\/em> notes that McCain laughed at the question, but he wasn’t laughing nearly a decade later when Doocy asked the late senator whether he planned to oppose former President Trump’s agenda given their contentious relationship<\/p>\n “Why would you say something that stupid?” McCain snapped. “Why would you ask something that dumb?”<\/p>\n Doocy has gotten under Biden’s skin in the past, as well, so much so that when the president prepared to field a question from him last week, he told Doocy that though he asks the “nicest” questions, “none of them make a lot of sense.”<\/p>\n Doocy then asked Biden why he’s “trying to pull the country so far to the left.” Biden flashed a huge grin before saying he wasn’t. “You guys have been trying to convince me I’m Bernie Sanders,” he said before leaning in close to the microphone. “I’m not. I like him. But I’m not Bernie Sanders. I’m not a socialist. I’m a mainstream Democrat, and I have been.”<\/p>\n The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Rolling Stone <\/em>about calling Doocy a “son of a bitch” on Monday.<\/p>\n
