Joe Biden Insults a journalist at the White House - Rolling Stone

US President Joe Biden reacted a question of a Fox News journalist on inflation.

President Joe Biden lost his cool at the end of an event in the White House on Monday, insulting a journalist who had asked him a question about inflation.

While a photo session ended in the East Room, Peter Doocy, of Fox News, asked Biden if he thought that "inflation is a political handicap for the mid-term elections".

"This is a huge asset, more inflation," replied Biden in a sarcastic tone.What a big moron (What a Stupid Son of A Bitch).»»

DOOCY quickly made a visit to Fox News to laugh at the incident with Jesse Watters: "I think the president is right, you are a big moron," joked Watters."Yes, no one has done these facts yet," said DOOCY.

DOOCY is used to trolling politicians, as politico detailed in a long article last year. Pendant la campagne présidentielle de 2008, il a demandé à John McCain si Hillary Clinton avait « finalement décidé de noyer son chagrin dans l’alcool à cause de certains sondages défavorables»» après qu’une photo de Clinton buvant du Crown Royal est devenue virale.Politico notes that McCain laughed at the question, but that he was not laughing more than a decade later, when DOOCY asked him if he planned to oppose the program of former president Trump, taking into accounttheir conflictual relationship."Why do you say something so stupid?replied McCain. Pourquoi poser une question aussi stupide ?»»

DOOCY also got back on Joe Biden in the past, so much so that when the president prepared to answer a question on his part last week, he told DOOCY that if he asked the questions "the sympathetic "," none of them has much sense.»»

DOOCY then asked Biden why he was trying to "shoot the country so far left".Biden displayed a huge smile before replying that it was not the case."You tried to convince me that I am Bernie Sanders," he said before leaning near the microphone.I am not.I like it.But I am not Bernie Sanders.I am not a socialist.I am a traditional democrat, and I have always been.»»
