On Monday, Democrat President Joe Biden snapped at Fox News reporter Peter Doocy after Doocy asked him about the inflation crisis and the upcoming midterm elections.
“Do you think inflation is a political liability for midterms?” Doocy asked.
“It’s a great asset, more inflation,” Biden responded. “What a stupid son of a b****.”

The attack on Doocy followed another attack on a reporter that Biden made after being asked about the situation in Ukraine.
“Why are you waiting on Putin to make the first move, sir?” Fox News reporter Jacqui Heinrich asked, referencing how Biden had not yet reacted to Russia appearing to prepare to invade Ukraine.

Heinrich’s question came after Biden suggested that there could be little response from NATO if Russia decided to invade Ukraine and the invasion was just a “minor incursion.”
“It’s one thing if it’s a minor incursion and we end up having to fight about what to do and not do,” Biden said. “But if they actually do what they’re capable of doing with the forces amassed on the border, it is going to be a disaster for Russia if they further invade Ukraine.”
When reporters asked Biden to clarify what he meant by “minor incursion,” Biden said he drew the line at “Russian forces crossing the border, killing Ukrainian fighters,” according to CNN.
