US President Joe Biden was caught in a bizarre moment during his visit to Florida to survey the damage caused by Hurricane Ian on Wednesday.
President Biden was spotted swearing in an explicit hot mic conversation with a local official while they talked about the plans of the local government to help the residents affected by the disaster.
“No one f—- with a Biden,” President Biden told Fort Myers Beach Mayor Ray Murphy.
“Yeah, you’re go—– right,” the mayor responded while he was laughing.

According to the reports, Biden and his wife Jill went to visit Florida, specifically the Fisherman’s Wharf in Fort Myers after reports revealed that businesses and homes were almost completely destroyed by Hurricane Ian last week.
The president also met with his border policies’ vocal critic, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis
“Today, we have one job and only one job, and that’s to make sure the people in Florida get everything they need to fully thoroughly recover,” President Biden told the local residents alongside Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and first responders.
“We’re here today because we wanted to tell you in person that we’re thinking of you and we’re not leaving. We’re not leaving until this gets done.” Biden added.
He also congratulated DeSantis for his administration’s preparation and response to the storm.
“What the governor’s done is pretty remarkable,” Biden said amid destroyed buildings and boats thrashed around by Ian’s wind and storm surge.
Biden also brought up the issues on “global warming” and preached about how “the Colorado River looks more like a stream” and “there’s a lot going on.”
“I think the one thing this has finally ended is the discussion about whether not there’s climate change, and we should do something about it.” Biden said.
Biden also extended the federal emergency relief that he first enacted prior to the storm by 30 days which makes the assistance package available for 60 days as Florida works on rebuilding the state in the wake of the hurricane.
Following the visit, Florida Governor DeSantis praised cooperation between authorities at all levels of government.
“One of the things that you’re seeing in this response: We are cutting through the bureaucracy. We are cutting through the red tape, and that’s from local government, state government all the way up to the president,” DeSantis said in a statement on Wednesday.
This another bizarre moment of Biden comes on the same day the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries announced that they would cut oil production by 2 million barrels a day.
However, the White House released its response, not agreeing with the decision.
According to them, they were “disappointed by the shortsighted decision.”
In response to the White House’s reaction, industry leaders mocked President Biden in response.
“The WH has one option left and it is the one option they should have never turned away from in the first place – the US based oil and gas industry. Life comes at you pretty fast…” the US Oil & Gas Association tweeted Wednesday.
