US President Joe Biden called Fox News journalist Peter Dusa a "stupid son of a bitch." The incident occurred yesterday, January 24, before the meeting of the head of the White House with economic advisers, which was broadcast by news television companies.
Journalist Peter Dusy asked Biden if he would answer the question about inflation.
"Will you answer questions about inflation? Do you think that inflation will be a political burden in the run-up to the midterm elections to Congress? - asked the journalist.
At the same time, the US president smiled and answered him, forgetting at the end that the microphone was turned on.
"This is a great value. More inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch," said the American leader to himself, although his microphone was still on.
It is reported that later Biden called the reporter and said that there was nothing personal in his words.
