Stephen Colbert breaks out his best Biden impression, jokes about that 'hot mic' moment
Biden has been up to his old tricks again. Ever a politician who doesn’t mind getting into sweary clashes with members of a crowd, on Monday he was heard on a press conference mic calling Fox News reporter Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a bitch,” following a question the man asked about inflation.
The incident led to numerous headlines and an apology from Biden. But on the plus side, it also provided a lot of material for the late night hosts. Stephen Colbert in particular was quick to throw on his old Biden aviators and return to one of his favourite impressions.
“That’s right, old Joey’s back,” grins the host in the clip above. “I’ve reached peak old man, giving zero malarkeys.”
“It’s never appropriate for the President of the United States to have a potty mouth, but it’s especially egregious to call Peter Doocy a son of a bitch,” Colbert continues. “We did some fact checking and he’s actually the son of Fox and Friends host Steve Doocy, so if anything he’s a son of a deuce. A real deuce-bag, if you will.”
