Jan 25, 2022: US President Joe Biden was arrested Monday on a live microphone for calling a Fox News reporter a “stupid son of a bitch” during a White House photo shoot.

As reporters were leaving the room after the ceremony, a reporter from Fox News, a favorite conservative channel, asked if inflation was a political liability. Democratic leaders, presumably unaware that their microphones are still on, began a sarcastic reponse saying: “This is a huge asset. More inflation.”

And then muttered, “How stupid bitch’s son,” before looking down for a moment.

A pool reporter who was in the room at the time admitted that he could not hear what Biden had to say to the question over all the noise. He did however direct attention to a video of the event which shows Peter Doocy of Fox News asking the presiden about inflation.

In the past, when Biden made a gaff such as this, the White House has rushed to explain or roll back his comments.

This time however, the White House appeared to have no qualms about owning it, putting out a transcript of the event that included the comment — thereby ensuring it passes into the official historical record.

“Just adds a certain something,” tweeted Katie Rogers, White House correspondent for the New York Times, with a screen grab of the transcript.

Meanwhile, the reporter in question, Doocy shrugged the insult off in a later interview on Fox. “Yeah nobody has fact-checked him yet and said it’s not true,” he said, nonchalantly.

He later said that Biden called him within the hour and said: “It’s nothing personal, pal.”
