Since the day Joe Biden has been in the White House, Peter Doocy has been Fox News’ most dogged reporter. During every White House presser, he peppers Jen Psaki with gotcha-style questions. His enthusiasm has led to many viral exchanges between him and the Press Secretary.

In one of Doocy’s most famous moments, Joe Biden was caught on a hot mic referring to the reporter as a “stupid son of a bitch.” Jen Psaki was asked about the moment during a recent interview at The Anthem in Washington DC.
The Press Secretary was asked, “Peter Doocy is a stupid son of a bitch, or does he just play one on tv.” She responded, “He works for a network that provides people with questions that, nothing personal to any individual including Peter Doocy, but might make anyone sound like a stupid son of a bitch.”

Biden later apologized to Doocy for the comments. Doocy recalled:
“After years of clips of the president and kind of mixing it up on the campaign trail and during the transition, and here at the White House, within about an hour of that exchange, he called my cell phone and he said, ‘It’s nothing personal, pal.’ And we went back and forth and we were talking bout just kind of moving forward and I made sure to tell him that I’m always going to try to ask something different than what everybody else is asking. And he said, “You’ve got to.” And that’s a quote from the president. So I’ll keep doing it.”
