Joe caught on hot mic calling a report an obscene name.

At least Biden doesn't start international incidents with his hot mic moments.

My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."
Interesting. But this wasn't a hot mic moment. It was recorded but not broadcast at the time. Later it was leaked. So we can't really say that Reagan wanted this to be heard by his audience.

Pretty sure Biden's in the same situation here...

Could be. It is kind of unclear if he knew his mic was still on. The sort of sotto voce way that he made this comment suggests he didn't think the mic was on or that it wouldn't pick it up. President Biden and most Presidents have their gaffe moments. I choose to ignore their foibles as trivial.

...at times it was hard for Reagan to repress his former self as a Hollywood actor.

Trump lied about thousands and thousands of Arabs dancing in new york celebrating the September 11 attack.

And Trump's evidence for this lie was a quote from the
Reporter Serge Kovaleski

"In Jersey City, within hours of two jetliners’ plowing into the World Trade Center, law enforcement authorities detained and questioned a number of people who were allegedly seen celebrating the attacks and holding tailgate-style parties on rooftops while they watched the devastation on the other side of the river."

When the reporter correctly pointed out that this is not evidence for thousands and thousands of attacks trumps response was

People did not unfairly assume trump was mocking a disabled reporter

Can people honestly claim that Trumps treatment of reporters is the same as Joe Bidens ?

What about the reporter that claimed Trumps "inject disinfectant" comment was inappropriate for a coronavirus briefing because it was speculation, Trump claimed the reporter was just attacking him because he was "fake news" but then Trump went on to say his comment was sarcastic.
