Biden snaps at Doocy for simply asking: What’s more important, ‘abortion or inflation?’

President Joe Biden appears to be growing less and less tolerant of Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy’s legitimate questions. This was made evident when he snapped at the young reporter for asking whether abortion or inflation was his “top domestic priority.”

As the United States barrels head-first into the 2022 midterms, both political parties are pulling out all the stops to make sure they win. Democrats currently control the board and Republicans are looking to change that in a big way, promising to address some of the more immediate issues concerning Americans.

One of the biggest issues facing everyone, especially the middle and lower class, is inflation.

On Wednesday, Biden delivered some remarks on his infrastructure law and its implementation. Doocy took the opportunity to get Biden on record, asking whether he had “abortion or inflation” at the top of his domestic agenda.

“Mr. President, could you help us out just really quick? What is your top domestic priority? Is it inflation or is it abortion?” Doocy asked, prompting the president to cock his brow, and slowly fiddle with a pen, eventually putting it in his pocket as other journalists shouted questions.

“Just hoping to clarify for midterm voters, top domestic issue: inflation or abortion?” Doocy reasserted. This is when Biden snapped.

“They’re all important. Unlike you, there’s no one thing. It crosses the board. Domestic — ask me about foreign policy too. There’s multiple, multiple, multiple issues, and they’re all important,” Biden sneered. “And so — and we ought to be able to walk and chew gum at the same time. You know that old expression?”

Twitter pounced on the president’s response fairly quickly:
