New Delhi: US President Joe Biden lost his cool when a Fox News reporter asked him about inflation on Monday, which was answered obscenely. Fox News, known for its frequent criticism of Joe Biden, asked the president about inflation, which is at a nearly 40-year high that has hurt Biden’s public acceptance, AP News reported.
While the president was in the East Room of the White House for his Competition Council meeting, which focuses on changing rules and enforcing laws to help consumers deal with high prices. After Biden’s remarks, reporters in the room took several questions.

According to AP News, Fox reporter Peter Ducey said, “Do you think inflation is a political liability ahead of the mid-term?” To which Biden responded with a sarcasm, “That’s a big asset – more inflation.” Then he shook his head and said, “What a stupid son…”
It was captured by a microphone in front of Biden and on camera, Ducey mocked it in a subsequent appearance on his network, jokingly saying, “No one has fact-checked him yet and said it was true.” Not there.”
According to the report, Ducey told Sean Hannity of Fox News that Biden called her afterward to clear the air. Ducey said Biden told her, “It’s nothing personal, mate.” But the White House did not respond to comment.
At another incident last week, at his news conference last week, Biden sarcastically told Ducey, “You always ask me the best questions.”
“I have a full binder,” replied the reporter.
“I know you do,” Biden said. “None of them mean much to me. Start over.”
