MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski Recommends Biden Stop Eating Ice Cream ‘for the Health of Fox News Hosts’
Morning Joe co-host Mika Brzezinski recommended President Joe Biden stop eating ice cream for the sake of Fox News hosts.
The MSNBC host fit in the dig while covering Biden’s latest physical exam. She declared the president is “robust” after his doctor determined the 81-year-old Democrat is “fit” to serve in office.
“Also, I think there’s a prescription he forgot to put on there,” Brzezinski told Jonathan Lemire on Thursday, “and that is to not eat ice cream because it will be the lead of Fox News for 24 hours and cause the hosts to completely melt down.”
She added, “for the health of Fox News hosts, he probably should stop eating ice cream.”
Biden’s love of ice cream got some new attention this week after the president visited an ice cream parlor with Seth Meyers for a late night show interview.
Biden chumming it up with a comedian while discussing serious crises has been canon fodder for his critics, including some on Fox News.
Jesse Watters questioned the logic and timing of the visit and even noted that ice cream is a favorite for Alzheimer’s patients.
“Now, obviously, I’m not diagnosing Biden with Alzheimer’s, but you see what’s going on here?” Watters said.
The specific coverage by Watters was also mocked in an interview between CNN’s John Berman and White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Thursday.
Jean-Pierre laughed off the reactions and called it “false outrage.”
Polling has shown public concerns about Biden’s age, which the president has made light of. After his latest physical, he told reporters his doctor told him he “looks too young.”
