Peter Doocy, a renowned journalist working for Fox News, has been in the spotlight after United States President Joe Biden seemed to call him a “stupid son of a b—h” on a hot mic. Doocy was speaking to Biden about inflation and asked if it would become a “political liability”.
Biden went on to say, “That is a great asset, more inflation.” The hot mic then picked up the words “What a stupid son of a b—-” as the President looked down at his podium.

Peter Doocy is known to have such exchanges with members and supporters of the Democratic party and has often asked provoking questions to the White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki.
Here are some of the most controversial back and forths Peter Doocy has had on a public platform with an administration official:
In January 2021, shortly after taking over the White House from former President Donald Trump, Biden was signing a couple of executive orders when the Fox News reporter heckled the President and asked, ”
Mr. President, what did you talk to Vladimir Putin about?”, to which Biden responded, “You. He sent his best.”
In April 2021, Peter Doocy brought up the MLB’s All-Star Game’s venue change from Georgia, where disputed and restrictive voting laws were passed through the state legislature.

Doocy asked Psaki, “Is the White House concerned that Major League Baseball is moving their All-Star Game to Colorado where voting regulations are very similar to Georgia?”, according to reports from The Independent.
Psaki said the basis of the laws were based on the rigged election claims and did thus did not hold credibility. “Ultimately, though, it’s up to Major League Baseball to determine where they’re holding their All-Star Game”, Psaki said.
