(Yahoo) President Biden has a short temper and frequently lashes out at staff members with profanity-laden rants if they do not meet his expectations, according to a new Axios report.
One official in the administration told the outlet that “no one is safe” from Biden’s wrath. Aides are reportedly known to meet with him in groups of two or more to defuse potential tension.
Some of the president’s go-to attacks include, “How the f— don’t you know this?” and “Don’t f—ing bulls— me!”
Aides have framed his outbursts as a desire for accuracy and competence, telling the outlet that many see getting shouted at by the president as a rite of passage.
President Biden has a short temper and frequently lashes out at staff members with profanity-laden rants if they don’t meet his expectations.
“If there is something that’s not in the brief, he’s going to find it,” said Ted Kaufman, Biden’s chief of staff when he was in the Senate. “It’s not to embarrass people, it’s because he wants to get to the right decision. Most people who have worked for him like the fact that he challenges them and gets them to a better decision.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Fox News Digital.
It is not the first time reports from within Biden’s circle have undermined his carefully curated “Uncle Joe” public persona. Biden last showed his darker side when a hot mic caught him calling Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy a “stupid son of a b—-.”
