Biden fumed, dropped f-bombs as border crisis intensified, new book claims
'The Fight of His Life' is due to be released next month

President Biden was furious and cursed repeatedly about the border crisis as illegal immigrants kept flocking to the overwhelmed southern border, according to an upcoming book detailing the first years of Biden's presidency.
In "The Fight of His Life: Inside Joe Biden's White House," author Chris Whipple describes Biden’s fury as his administration attempted to get a grip of the raging crisis at the border in 2021 – where a historic surge was underway, and there was growing criticism of his administration.
"Meanwhile, illegal immigrants kept arriving. And Biden was furious," the book says. "Aides had rarely seen him so angry. From all over the West Wing, you could hear the president cursing, dropping f-bombs (he’d always apologize when women were present)."
One senior adviser told Whipple that the frustration came from a "lack of solutions."
"It’s like, ‘How would you feel if you were me and these were the solutions you had?’ It’s the weight of the presidency, right?’" the adviser said.
In another part of the book, Whipple goes back to the crisis at the border, writing: "Next to vaccine disinformation, this was the thing that made Biden’s blood boil."
Whipple also describes Biden as "on a short fuse" on a separate issue later in the year.
"Early in his term he had reserved the f-bomb mostly for discussions of the southern border, but lately he was using it more often," the book says.
