Biden apologizes after caught on hot mic calling Fox reporter profane remark

Biden called Doocy to apologize for his remark later Monday, according to a person familiar with the conversation

President Joe Biden was heard insulting a reporter from the Fox channel on a hot microphone following a White House event Monday afternoon, Qazet.az reports citing CNN.

The president’s profane remark came as reporters were shouting questions while exiting the East Room following a White House Competition Council meeting on efforts to lower prices.

Fox White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked Biden, “Would you take a question on inflation … ? Do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?”

“It’s a great asset — more inflation,” Biden deadpanned.

Biden called Doocy to apologize for his remark later Monday, according to a person familiar with the conversation.
