Fox News Host Links Biden’s Love of Ice Cream to Alzheimer’s Disease: ‘You See What’s Going on Here?’

 

Fox News host Jesse Watters criticized President Joe Biden and his affinity for ice cream on Tuesday after the president was seen in a New York ice cream parlor the day before.

Ahead of Monday’s airing of Late Night with Seth Meyers, on which Biden was a guest, the president patronized a shop with Meyers and told reporters he hopes there will be a ceasefire in Gaza “by next Monday” as Israel continues its invasion and bombing campaign in the territory after the Oct. 7 attacks.

The right has fixated on Biden’s famous hankering for ice cream, with some suggesting that it is aberrant for a man to buy an ice cream cone in public.

“If I were Biden and I was losing to Trump my party wanted to put me out to pasture and swap me out for a younger, better-looking liberal, the Mideast and Europe are at war, and migrants are murdering our women, the last thing I would do? Go out for ice cream with a comedian and lick it when they ask about the border,” Watters said on Tuesday’s Jesse Watters Primetime.

The host then drew a parallel between Biden and Alzheimer’s patients:

You know who lights up for ice cream? Children and the elderly. There’s a reason caregivers deliver ice cream to their patients in nursing homes.

According to the Alzheimer’s Association, ice cream is a favorite for people with diminished faculties.

Quote, “Ice cream has the power to immediately elicit soothing feelings of the very first taste of a single spoon-full. It erases all the negative feelings related to the frustration and continues to stimulate pleasure receptors in the brain with every new scoop.”

Now, obviously, I’m not diagnosing Biden with Alzheimer’s, but you see what’s going on here?

Watters went on to add, “He’s a child. He copies homework. He lies, falls asleep, doesn’t listen.”
