President Biden criticized former President Trump as a threat to democracy during a White House event. He also lashed out at reporters, claiming he knows more world leaders than any of them. Biden's outburst drew criticism from some on social media.
President Biden gave some parting attacks to the press during a public White House event Sunday night. Fox News’ Lucas Tomlinson reported that after signing the Social Security Fairness Act, Biden took a few questions from the crowd which led the president to target President-elect Donald Trump . 'Do you still believe he’s a threat to democracy?' a reporter asked. 'I think what he did was a genuine threat to democracy,' Biden responded.
After responding to the allegation that Trump plans to end birthright citizenship, Biden switched the topic to attacking the reporters. 'I might be the oldest president, but I know more world leaders than any one of you have ever met in your whole goddamn life!' Biden said. Some X users quickly blasted the comment. 'He’s fine guys,' journalist Salena Zito joked. Conservative communicator Steve Guest commented, 'What a bitter person.
Biden replied, stating, 'Do you think you can keep from getting hit in the head by a — a camera behind you?' In 2022, he went as far as to refer to Fox News’ Peter Doocy as a 'stupid son of a b----' after asking a question about whether inflation would be seen as a political liability ahead of the midterms. Doocy said Biden later called him to 'clear the air,' claiming the comments were 'nothing personal.
