However, when Biden sat before a microphone and called Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy a "stupid son of a b----" last night, that was no joke. That was just Biden. And his insult was accompanied by the useful admission that Biden knows exactly how badly his economy will hurt Democrats.
. . ."Peter Doocy, therefore, shouted out a question that went to the heart of the meeting, which was economic problems: "Will you take questions on inflation, then? Do you think inflation is a political liability ahead of the midterms?"
"Biden, who must have known that his mic was on because he'd spoken seconds before, immediately stated in a sarcastic tone that inflation is a huge problem for him: "No, it's a great asset. More inflation." That was the honest statement of a man who knows he's got an immovable wall at his back and, coming towards him, teeth bared, the monstrous dog of a broken economy.
"And then Biden, the faux jovial politician, let his inner Biden out, adding with his mouth right in front of the mic, "What a stupid son of a b----.' "
. . .“I don’t think any president should be calling any journalist a dumb son of a bitch, and to be fair to Peter Doocy, the question was fairly anodyne,” Tapper told late-night host Jimmy Kimmel, who was reveling in the insult and laughed about it during the opening monologue on his long-running ABC program.
"Kimmel was surprised and said as much: “Fox News says that you’re on Team Biden and you are a mouthpiece for the Democrats, and yet here you are defending Peter Doocy, who, as far as I have been able to tell, is indeed a dumb son of a bitch.' ”. . .

Biden’s decision to insult the press as opposed to answering their questions came after the president held his second-ever news conference for American reporters while in office. During the two-hour briefing, Biden attacked RealClearPolitics’ White House Reporter Philip Wegmann for a question on the president’s divisive comparisons of those opposed to the Democrats’ colossal elections package as complicit with Jim Crow-era segregation.
