Best presidential hot mic moments after Biden’s ‘son of a b****’ gaffe

President Joe Biden went viral on Monday after being caught making an unflattering comment about Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy on a hot mic.

In response to a question about inflation, Biden - thinking his microphone was off - called Doocy a “son of a b****”.
