(CNN) President Joe Biden was heard calling a reporter from the Fox channel a "stupid son of a bitch" on a hot microphone following a White House event Monday afternoon. The President's profane remark came as reporters were shouting questions while exiting the East Room following a White House Competition Council meeting on efforts to lower prices. Fox White House Correspondent Peter Doocy asked Biden, "Would you take a question on inflation ... ? "It's a great asset -- more inflation," Biden deadpanned. Doocy said on Fox late Monday evening that Biden called his phone shortly after their exchange to apologize for his remark.
