For Some Reason, Jesse Watters Has Problems With Joe Biden Eating Ice Cream
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Fox News host Jesse Watters is wracking his brains trying to find new things to hate about Joe Biden ― and his latest quibble with the president is a real head-scratcher.
Apparently he doesn’t like old guys eating ice cream.
Watters made the pearl-clutching observation on Tuesday in response to comments Biden made Monday, while getting ice cream, expressing his hope for a cease-fire between Israel and Hamas.
Although a reduction in hostilities in the Middle East might seem to be the important part of the story, Watters just couldn’t focus on it, preferring instead to make blanket assumptions about masculinity and food products.
“You know my rule about men eating soup in public? I don’t think it’s manly ... not a good look,” Watters explained to his fellow panelists. “I think the same thing for ice cream. You should save that for vacation. A grown man, especially the president, should not be licking ice cream in public.”
Yes, there’s video. Thanks for asking.

Watters isn’t the only conservative media person who felt obligated to attack Biden for eating ice cream.
Conservative talk show host Clay Travis also got his panties in a bunch over Biden’s favorite dessert, saying “it’s super weird” and adding, “Do you know grown men who go get ice cream by themselves? I don’t. It’s very strange.”
But if Watters and Travis expected a flood of right-wingers to suddenly start hating the thought of old guys eating ice cream, they were sadly mistaken.
Instead, Watters was trolled with photos of grown men eating ice cream.

Others just mocked the fragile Fox News host.
I love how conservatives will be vocally against ice cream, the NFL and recreational sex in one breath and claim they represent normal people in another. https://t.co/L4a98MbyFM

You keep the words “ice cream” out of your damn mouth, discount-bin Tucker Carlson. It’s the most beautiful creation on this planet and should only be celebrated. https://t.co/inyMDlr7lE

My grandfather, fresh from disembarking from the USS Foote after more than two years in the Pacific campaign of WWII, walked into the nearest hotel bar in San Francisco, ordered a bowl of ice cream and told them to keep it coming til he puked. He was as grown a man as they come. https://t.co/Oz57PXmZy3

Next time Joe eats an ice cream cone I’m gonna need him to have on a tan suit. https://t.co/vPKBxg8uWw

Conservatives are amazing man. I could come up with dozens of Biden policy criticisms that are substantive meanwhile they’re just like OLD MAN EATS ICE CREAM https://t.co/HU1E8H6Rfm

Travis was also called out for his bizarre attack on ice cream and Biden, including by two former GOP congressmen.
Hey Clay, life is short. You and I are gonna be on this planet for not even the blink of an eye. Be better than this. Come on man. https://t.co/XB2dnhZvFQ

First they hated the NFL
Then they hated Taylor Swift
Now they hate ice cream https://t.co/s8hWTtShbE— DallasIndependent🟦 (@NeverDotard) February 27, 2024
“Super weird” is being so insecure as a grown man that you care about when or where or with whom you eat ice cream. Or anything else. And then publishing that insecurity on a public platform. https://t.co/hd4R97dR3D

2 impeachments, 4 indictments, 90-ish charges. Rapist, fraud, and coward…but yes, go after a guy having an ice cream cone. Fucking ridiculous. How old are you? https://t.co/lh7MOtLUkn
