As reporters were being whisked away from a White House meeting on Monday, Fox News’ Peter Doocy shouted one last question to President Joe Biden.
“Do you think inflation is a political liability …in the midterms?” Doocy could be heard asking.
Biden then could be heard muttering, in a bit of sarcasm, “That’s a great asset. More inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch.”

“Our economy shouldn’t be about people working for capitalism, if should be about capitalism working for people,” Biden said.

He said that he couldn’t actually hear Biden’s comments because the wranglers were shouted for reporters to clear the room.
CNN also covered the moment, with its chief White House correspondent, Kaitlan Collins, who was there, telling Jake Tapper that “it seemed pretty clear he knew he was on a mic.” “This one seemed a little more blatant, even,” Tapper said.
Biden’s sharp exchanges with reporters typically are complaints with a tinge of playfulness, as when he last year called NBC News’ Kelly O’Donnell a “pain in the neck” for asking about an off-topic question following his meeting with the
