U.S. media reported that the incident took place during a news conference on Monday. The president was fired by a Fox News reporter who asked about US inflation. You can hear Biden say “Stupid Son of A ****” in a low voice behind the answer to the question in a video released by news channels. However, the US news channel CBS News reported that it was not clear whether the reference was made without knowing that the mic was on.

“Do you think rising inflation will be a political crisis?” Asked Fox News reporter Peter Doosey. The question was asked as journalists walked out of the hall after the press conference. But Biden’s ironic response was that inflation was a big gain. “No, that’s a great achievement. Let there be more inflation. Stupid son of an ****!” Biden said.
Meanwhile, White House correspondent Ducey told the Channel that he had not heard what the President had said to him and that there was a small commotion inside the hall. Doosey said he only found out about it when other journalists told him about it.

Meanwhile, Ducey said Biden called him an hour after the incident and told him not to take it personally. Asked if he had apologized for Biden’s remarks, Doosey said he calmed down and welcomed it. Ducey said he spoke well with the president on the phone. The White House has not officially commented on the incident.
Doosey, a reporter for the right-wing news channel Fox News, often asks the US president tough questions. This is not the first time the US president has responded harshly to questions about inflation, immigration and crime.
