President Biden has apparently made amends with Fox News reporter Peter Doocy. That’s because Mr. Biden was caught apparently calling Doocy an expletive on a hot mic during a photo op.

As demonstrated in a video circulating online, reporters were calling out questions, and Doocy asked Biden about inflation as he was opening a meeting on lowering consumer prices. "It's a great asset – more inflation," Biden said half under his breath. “What a stupid son of a b***h.”

Since then, Doocy appeared on his network and jokingly said "nobody has fact-checked him yet and said it's not true." But later, he reported that the President called him on his cell to apologize and added, “’It's nothing personal, pal’.”
