According to Deadline
Peter Doocy told Sean Hannity that President Joe Biden called his cell phone and said, “It’s nothing personal, pal.”
“We went back and forth and we were talking about just kind of moving forward. I made sure to tell him that I was going to ask something different than everyone else is asking. And he said, ‘You got to.’ And that is a quote from the president, so I will be doing it.”
“Did he apologize?” Hannity asked.
“He cleared the air, and I appreciate it. We had a nice call,” Doocy said.
“That doesn’t sound like an apology,” Hannity said.
“He said, ‘It’s nothing personal pal, and I told him I appreciated him reaching out,” Doocy said.
“Hey Sean, the world is on the brink of like World War III with all of this stuff going on. I appreciate that the president took a couple minutes this evening while he was still at his desk to clear the air. I don’t need anyone to apologize to me. He can call me whatever he wants, as long as it gets him talking.”
Hannity said that he thought that Biden should give Doocy a 20 minute sit down to make up for the “SOB comment.” But Doocy said, “That’s enough. We can move on.”
As reporters were being whisked away from a White House meeting on Monday, Fox News’ Peter Doocy shouted one last question to President Joe Biden.
“Do you think inflation is a political liability …in the midterms?” Doocy could be heard asking.
Biden then could be heard muttering, in a bit of sarcasm, “No, it’s a great asset. More inflation. What a stupid son of a bitch.”
The reporters had been brought in to catch a portion of the meeting and Biden’s remarks to his Competition Council, an event on Monday devoted to discussing ways to reduce costs and boost wages.
