‘Tan Suit’ 2.0: Fox Host Says Biden Eating Ice Cream Is ‘Too Casual’
Jesse Watters on Monday harped on President Joe Biden’s choice to eat an ice cream cone at a Baskin Robbins in Portland, Oregon over the weekend, complaining that his methods of doing so were “too casual a look for the country.”
The Fox host also made a bizarre list and do’s and don’ts for ice cream eating — his commentary resembling the hubbub largely in right-wing media after then-President Barack Obama wore a tan suit during a 2014 press conference and was promptly called “unpresidential” on Fox News. The move was indicative of a “lack of seriousness,” then-Representative Peter King (R-NY) also huffed.
“A man should never lick an ice cream cone in public,” Watters declared. “A man can only eat ice cream on vacation. I guess Biden is always on vacation, so it makes sense. But if a man needs to eat ice cream in public, he should scoop it out of a bowl with a spoon.”
