US President Joe Biden was overheard calling a Fox channel reporter a “fucking asshole…” into a turned-on microphone after a White House event Monday afternoon.
The president’s profane comment came as reporters shouted questions as they left the East Room after a White House Competition Council meeting on efforts to lower prices.
Fox White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Biden, “Would you take a question about inflation? Do you think inflation is a political responsibility in the middle of the term?”
“It’s a big asset — more inflation,” Biden said. “What a stupid motherfucker…”
The president has grown increasingly frustrated as he has publicly tackled difficult issues in recent days.
At the root of the frustrations with reporters are two major crises that the Biden administration continues to grapple with: facing inflation and the prospect of a Russian invasion of Ukraine.
