As reporters were being ushered out of the East Room at the White House following a brief appearance by Biden, Doocy asked the president whether he believes inflation and growing economic woes are a political liability in the 2022 midterm elections.

With his microphone still hot, Biden mockingly said, “No, it’s a great asset — more inflation.” Biden then added, “What a stupid son of a bitch.”

CNN media reporter Brian Stelter, also the host of “Reliable Sources,” mostly dismissed the incident as small and not worthy of news coverage.
