CNN Anchors And Biden Spox Jean-Pierre Roast Fox News Host ‘Triggered’ By Biden Eating Ice Cream

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre joined CNN anchors in mocking Fox News host Jesse Watters for being “triggered” by President Joe Biden’s public consumption of ice cream.

On Monday, the president taped an appearance for Tuesday night’s edition of NBC’s Late Night with Seth Meyers, and after the taping, he and host Seth Meyers made an impromptu stop at Van Leeuwen Ice Cream that was caught by pool cameras.

On Thursday’s edition of CNN News Central, co-anchor John Berman drew a laugh from KJP by asking about outrage from Fox News host Jesse Watters over the stop, and after Jean-Pierre blew off the criticism, co-anchor Kate Bolduan got in on the act:

JOHN BERMAN: The president came to New York earlier this week and had ice cream with late night host Seth Meyers, and that seemed to be triggering for some people. I want to read you a quote from Jesse Watters on Fox, who said, “A grown man, especially the president, should not be licking ice cream in public.”.

I wonder if you have a reaction to the outrage over the public eating of ice cream.

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: That’s a just false outrage. (laughing) I don’t really have more more to say beyond that.

The president went out there to New York. I was with him. I traveled with him. He did, he did an interview with Seth Meyers. He met Americans where they are. He reached more than a million people in that interview. He talked about really important, important issues that matter to the American people and gave substantive answers.

Obviously did it in a late night show fashion. And look, this is what, this is important. The president needs to meet different, different, different Americans in different in different, vehicles, different venues. And he was able to do that. And, and he was happy to, to be with Seth Meyers that day.

JOHN BERMAN: All right. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, thanks so much for being with us. Appreciate it.

KARINE JEAN-PIERRE: Thank you. Thank you so much.

JOHN BERMAN: Okay.

KATE BOLDUAN: On a very serious topic, the where the line is, is when you put toppings on the ice cream, that is when it becomes absolutely outrageous!

JOHN BERMAN: And then it’s 24 hour coverage.

KATE BOLDUAN: I mean.

JOHN BERMAN: Then you charter a jet to cover that.

KATE BOLDUAN: Yeah. It’s rolling. And especially if it’s gummy bears because they get frozen with the frozen ice cream. It’s an outrage!
