An old video of the late Sen. John McCain had a heated exchange with a Fox News reporter.
On Monday, the clip reappeared after President Joe Biden called a man a "stupid son of a bitch" on a hot mic.
In the October of last year, McCain was asked for his comment on his relationship with Donald Trump. In July of last year, McCain broke with the GOP and voted against a repeal of the health care law.
McCain was asked if his relationship with the president had deteriorated to the point that he wouldn't support anything he asked for.
McCain, frowning, berates Doocy, "Why would you say something that stupid?" Why would you ask that? Huh? My job is United States senator, I was just re-elected, I am from Arizona.
Do you mean that I will block everything because of a personal disagreement? That is a dumb question, McCain said.

Other clips have surfaced in the wake of Biden's remark, showing how the president was not the only one to insult journalists.
A clip from a Trump rally surfaced on the internet, where the former president is heard calling a man a "son of a bitch".

CNN anchor Jim Acosta said on Monday that he and other journalists got called a lot worse when covering Trump, but never got an apology.
I don't remember that from the commander in chief. It is possible that things are a little bit better.
Biden made a comment on Fox News programs on Monday.
On Monday night, Doocy said that he might have no choice but to embrace the label of "stupid son of a bitch", telling Fox News host Jesse Watters that nobody has fact-checked Biden's statement. Biden apologized and they cleared the air, according to the Fox News host.
