The liberal media is scrambling to defend Joe Biden after he called a reporter “a stupid son of a b****.”
It was caught on a hot mic while speaking to Fox News reporter Peter Doocy who was asking Biden about inflation, which is at a nearly 40-year high.
Rushing to defend Biden, reporter Kelly O’Donnell of NBC News desperately attempted to explain how Biden really doesn’t like when he’s asked off-topic questions. Watch the clip:

Multiple CNN reporters immediately began twisting their own narrative by claiming Biden merely “deadpanned” the remark, which suggests he was trying to be amusing.
This included CNN’s Chief White House Correspondent Kaitlan Collins as well as CNN’s chief media correspondent Brian Stelter.
CNN White House reporter DJ Judd also chimed in that Biden “deadpanned.” Former Obama campaign chair Jon Cooper also pushed the false narrative. Take a look:
"What a stupid son of a bitch," President Biden says audibly after a reporter asked about inflation being a political liability. “It’s a great asset. 'More inflation,'" Biden deadpanned.

At the end of a Biden photo op, when reporters shouted Q's hoping he'd respond, Fox's Peter Doocy asked, "Do you think inflation is a political liability in the midterms?" Biden deadpanned: "It's a great asset—more inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch." pic.twitter.com/Tt4ZVz5Ynj

Just now, Fox News' @pdoocy asked President Joe Biden if inflation could be a liability for his party going into the midterms.
“It’s a great asset—more inflation,” Biden deadpanned. “What a stupid son of a bitch.”

In response to an especially STUPID question from Fox’s Peter Doocy, President Biden deadpanned “What a stupid son of a bitch."
Raise your hand if you think he was speaking for ALL of us! ✋

A quick scroll back to 2018 immediately reveals the Left’s hypocrisy.
As President Donald Trump faced a fierce and bloodthirsty media, CNN’s Stelter had a completely different tune.
“Calling a journalist a ‘son of a b****?'” Stelter said about Trump, adding “It was wrong when Trump was just a candidate, and it’s even worse now that he’s POTUS.” Check it out:
