One day after the president of the United States called Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a b****”, White House press secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that Joe Biden had contacted him to smooth things over.
Mr Biden had been caught making the caustic remark on a hot microphone late on Monday after Mr Doocy, the son of Fox and Friends host Steve Doocy, asked him if rising inflation would be a “political liability”.
