As Twitchy reported, President Joe Biden, sitting silently while his handlers rushed out reporters yelling questions, was caught on a hot mic calling Fox News’ Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a b*tch.”
In case you missed it, here was Doocy’s response afterward:
Doocy laughs it off.

Being deputy director of rapid response for Media Matters, Andrew Lawrence responded rapidly, approving of Biden’s behavior and seeming concerned that Doocy and Jesse Watters didn’t seem too concerned.
the only bad part about biden calling a fox reporter a "stupid son of a bitch" is that he thought the mic was off and wont do it when he knows for sure people can hear

Jim Acosta had to find a safe space for far less. https://t.co/UCd2OWkYw5

This isn’t the dunk that Stelter and the Media Matters guy think it is pic.twitter.com/EH32YnBZ0c

Doocy is not furious about this because he’s not a giant crybaby like many of his TV colleagues and their stans

Chilling.

Acosta would have to write another book about it

A key difference between the left and right is we have a sense of humor and aren't sensitive.

Now Doocy needs to update his twitter bio with a picture of him, looking at another picture of him, looking at still another picture of him @Acosta

They should spend 6 days crying about it, declaring a national emergency, seeking therapy for their trauma, and then write a best-selling book about how much danger they're in, like CNN and Jim @Acosat did. https://t.co/K7FIH19snJ

You might know this better than I, but when I had someone hate my guts like that when I was in journalism, I thought it was kind of hilarious.

We are all laughing together – at this president and his tragic mental state. He just lost his cool for everyone to see who hasn't before seen his true nasty nature. It's dark humor, we agree.

We should set up a go fund me for Pete and make him a millionaire for being the only man in that room.

Read the comments. You'd think this would be something we could all laugh about together. Progressive pouters don't know how to laugh. They find offense in everything, even the fact that the Fox team finds the whole thing hilarious. They WANT Peter to be as miserable as they are. https://t.co/WNsYXjbdFo

A real journalist is pleased to get this reaction.
People that get "furious" on the other hand…
