Biden uses colorful language to describe Fox News reporter Peter Doocy

During an event at the White House to discuss his administration's efforts to fight inflation, Biden lamented that the press was only asking him about the situation in Ukraine. Doocy, who regularly asks questions that seem to annoy Biden, shouted at the president, "Will you take questions about inflation? Do you think inflation is a political liability ahead of the midterms?"
