1. Polifact would rate his comment as TRUE

2. Amen!

It was kinda funny when I thought it was a joke, but I laughed hella harder when I saw that it was real. Gotta be a classic.

9. Actually

It was much different hearing him saying it than reading about it. It wasn't terribly mean or nasty, it was rather matter-of-fact, saying something that was really obvious. It also sounded like Biden had just about had his fill of right-wing media crap.

15. Yup, that's what I loved about it.

So smooth and casual. When he later called Doocy to apologize, Biden probably had to bite his lip to keep from saying "I'm sorry you're such a stupid son of a bitch." Sometimes the truth just has a way of getting out.

[PatSeg]

17. Ha, ha, probably!

And you just know he was saying that in his mind.

3. Rts TY!

4. Seriously. How can anyone get upset because a reporter was called stupid.

Joe & Jane Sixpack are rolling on the floor. I left a local working class pub a bit ago - 70/30 Sane vs QOP, but those 30 are loud.

I brought up the subject and showed the tweets etc.; ... and even the Crazies were chuckling about it. As much as they hate 'Brandon', they STILL understood why he said it.

I think they were way more than a tiny bit impressed because one said "...it was funny because the way he spoke it, it showed he had balls, plus it was just a really stupid reporter anyways". Direct quote from a dirty work stained MAGA t-shirt working class guy.

5. Thanks for sharing this anecdote.

[PatSeg]

11. It almost didn't feel like a mistake or a gaffe

on Biden's part. Maybe he wanted it out there, so he didn't seem like some nice guy push-over.

6. Rachel just reported that Biden called the SOB and apologized.

Sometimes I don't like having an adult for a president.

[PatSeg]

12. Apologizing was the Presidential thing to do,

but meanwhile the video is still out there and it made Biden look pretty good and Doocy look like a dimwit.

[Midnight Writer]

7. Hell, at least he didn't call him out to a crowd as an Enemy Of The People.

[calimary]

8. Hey Doocy, the President has you nailed.

You ARE a stupid son of a bitch. Your problem is having it covered for national exposure soil EVERYBODY can see you as a stupid son of a bitch.

Every court needs a jester, I guess. And, Doocy, I guess the jester in this court would be YOU, sweetie.

10. People do love their Pyrrhic victories

Only winners here are the republican campaign ad editors, whose work becomes easier by the day.

14. Oh please

The only people it will upset are people who wouldn't vote Democratic anyway
Yours is the same rhetoric spewed in 2004, telling Kerry not to say anything negative. He didn"t, who won?
Oh yeah.
American politics is full of this kind of rhetoric and it's going on in many places today.
You'd have been a mess during Truman's presidency

16. I'm not ignorant of Truman's style

But if you’d to enlighten me to that time he called a credentialed member of the White House house press corps a “stupid son of a bitch,” I would be interested in seeing it.

Bonus points if it is even tangentially-related to the subject of many Americans lumbering under the weight of inflation, whether the question was on-topic or not.

I support the Democratic Party and the agenda of Joe Biden, but I’m not a fanboy who cannot recognize unforced errors when I see them.

13. A second opinion about Doocy's mental chops.

'Couldn't resist after seeing this companion vid in another thread.
