The ongoing feud between Fox News reporter Peter Doocy and President Joe Biden continues.
Doocy, a Fox News White House correspondent who was famously called “a stupid son of a bitch” by the president, on Wednesday asked Biden if there were a bigger priority for midterm voters: inflation or abortion? (The Republican narrative has been that Democrats focus too heavily on social issues, ignoring the precariousness of the economy.) Biden shot back appropriately. (You can watch below.)
“They’re all important. Unlike you, there’s no one thing. It crosses the board. Domestic, ask me about foreign policy, too,” Biden said. “There’s multiple issues and they’re all important and we ought to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time.”
Quite frankly the only thing that would have made this exchange better is if instead of saying the “walk and chew gum at the same time” line is if he’d quoted “Rowdy” Roddy Piper from John Carpenter’s “They Live” and said, “I came here to kick ass and chew bubblegum. And I’m all out of gum.”
Back in January, another question about inflation and the midterms prompted Biden to call Doocy “a stupid son of a bitch.”
Later, Biden supposedly called Doocy and they buried the hatchet – at least temporarily. But clearly the two still make each other bristle, as is evidenced by Wednesday’s exchange, which took place at an event Biden was hosting about the infrastructure.
