"Stupid Son Of A Bitch" - Biden Busted On Hot Mic After Being Asked About Americans' Biggest Worry Just days after President Biden was caught on hot mic calling a reporter's question over the Ukraine conflict "stupid," the US Commander-in-Chief downplayed a question over one of, if not THE most important worry for Americans right now - inflation. "Do you think inflation is a political liability ahead of the midterms?" asked Fox News' Peter Doocy as Biden was wrapping up a press conference for the White House's Competition Council. "No. It’s a great asset. More inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch," replied Biden.

Indeed. There's not going to be much reporting about the content of the Competition Council meeting after this. https://t.co/KOTovIYUqb — Steve Herman (@W7VOA) https://twitter.com/W7VOA/status/1485743514403155977?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw!function(d,s,id){var js,fjs=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],p=/^http:/.test(d.location)?'http':'https';if(!d.getElementById(id)){js=d.createElement(s);js.id=id;js.src=p+"://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js";fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js,fjs);}}(document,"script","twitter-wjs"); Monday's outburst follows another hot-mic moment last week, when Biden was caught muttering "what a stupid question," after Fox News' Jacqui Heinrich asked him "Why are you waiting on [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to make the first move, sir?" in regards to Ukarine. Earlier last week Biden sparked outrage in Ukraine after he suggested that a "minor incursion" by Russia would merit a different response than a full-scale invasion. On Friday, White House spox Jen Psaki was asked: "Is the president aware that he was caught on a hot mic yesterday? Why does he appear to be dismissing the idea of proactive deterrence?" to which Psaki responded: "Well, the president certainly does not dismiss that idea, considering he has taken a lot of steps including supporting and approving the several sanctions that were put out by the Treasury Department just a couple of days ago." In September, Biden once again criticized the American press, saying that the Indian press is "better behaved" with its questions. Angry old man mode: engaged Tyler Durden Mon, 01/24/2022 - 18:10
