MSNBC host Joy Reid was caught on a hot mic seemingly complaining that President Joe Biden is "starting another f-cking war" during Monday's episode of her show, The Reid Out.
Reid was slamming Republicans for opposing a bill regarding the border when a clip of Biden speaking came on the screen.
The host believed her mic to be off during the clip, but it wasn't.

"Before we go, I just want to apologize very quickly," Reid said. "I was chatting during a clip that was playing, and you know, we try to keep this show very PG-13, so I just want to apologize to anyone who was listening to my 'behind-the-scenes' chatter. I deeply, deeply apologize for that."
As The Blaze noted, "It's not immediately clear what or who Reid was referring to, though it's unlikely the comment was related to the battle over the immigration bill."
"Rather, the big topic of discussion in Washington on Monday was the drone attack that killed three American soldiers over the weekend. U.S. officials say Iran-backed militants were responsible for the attack, and Biden is facing growing pressure to retaliate. Biden, indeed, has promised to respond, presumably with military action."
There has been growing concern from the less hawkish factions of both parties that Biden may take military action against Iran — and pressure from those who love war for him to start one.
