President Biden, unable to wait just a few seconds for his microphone to be turned off, let it be known on Monday what he thinks about Fox News reporter Peter Doocy.

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?"
