U.S President joe Biden courted controversy after he was caught on camera hurling a a humiliating insult at Fox News reporter Peter Doocy on Monday (Jan 24).


“That’s a great asset — more inflation,” Biden responded on a hot mic. “What a stupid son of a b****.”

Biden has been facing a lot of political heat over soaring retail inflation in U.S. Inflation reached a four-decade high as consumer prices jumped 7% in 2021

Early this month, Biden had an angry exchange with a reporter during another press conference. He shouted at a reporter who asked about a speech on voting rights he had delivered in Atlanta that invited severe criticism. The reporter reminded Biden at the press conference that he promised during campaign that he will restore 'civility' to the high office.


President Biden called Peter Doocy about an hour he made the remark and apologised.
