PATRICIA JANIOT: Let’s go now to the White House, Galo- not to discuss Ukraine but to tell you about what President Biden said. He insulted a reporter from Fox News, a network that constantly criticizes him. It happened after journalist Peter Doocy asked the president whether inflation would be a problem in the midterm elections. Biden seemed frustrated with the question and immediately reacted this way. Listen:
PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN: That’s a great asset. More inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch.
JANOT: This very evening, President Biden called journalist Peter Doocy and offered him an apology for his remarks. It is unbelievable, León, that a President of the United States would be unable to take a question as important as the one that Doocy asked him.
LEON KRAUZE: Absolutely. Biden has previously said that this type of reaction is unacceptable. And it is. It is unacceptable.
JANIOT: It is. The fish dies by its mouth.
KRAUZE: It is. And unfortunate, without a doubt.
