President Joe Biden called a Fox News correspondent a "stupid son of a bitch" live on CSPAN on Monday after he asked him a question about inflation rates.
The first news conference of President Joe Biden's presidency will take place in the East Room of the White House on March 25, 2021. On the 64th day of his administration, Biden faced questions about immigration, gun control, and other subjects. The photo was taken by Chip Somodevilla.

As reporters were being asked to leave Monday's completed press conference following the President's meeting with the White House Competition Council, Doocy asked without a microphone, "Do you think inflation is a political liability ahead of the midterms?"
It is a great asset according to Biden. There is more inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch.
On the same day that the comments were made, the stock market plunged as much as 1,100 points.
He said on The Five that if he didn't smile, he was going to be a ball of tears.

The president's microphone was still on when he made the comment.
There was aContra.
Biden didn't want to take any questions off the topic. He attended an event about inflation. I asked about inflation. Wait to see if the white house has to remove that from the transcript. The president's quote was included in the transcripts of the council meeting.
There is a key background.
Biden and Doocy had a dicey exchange last week. As Biden was about to answer a question at the press conference, the president said, "You always ask me the nicest questions," and added, "None of them make a lot of sense to me." Biden replied, "Well, I'm not" when asked why he was trying so hard to pull the country to the left. The son of a Fox and Friends co- host asked Biden why he was waiting for a Russian president.
It was said.
What to watch for.
The Federal Reserve will likely aim to raise interest rates in order to fight inflation, with chair Powell set to hold a press conference after the Fed's meeting on Wednesday.
Biden isn't the first political figure to criticize Doocy. He asked John McCain if his relationship with Donald Trump had deteriorated to the point that he wouldn't support anything the president asked for. McCain had a history with the President, dating back to Trump's "He's not a war hero" comment in 2015. McCain retorted, "Why would you say something that stupid?" Why would you ask that? Huh? I am a senator from Arizona, which is where I was reelected to. I am going to block everything because of a personal disagreement, right? That is a dumb question.
