Fox News & Pelosi's ice cream. I had no idea and now I know why.

Link to tweet

?s=21

The Twitter feed informed me that this has been a big thing with Fox and RW media for a while now.
She was on Fallon or some other show and she has a drawer of ice cream products. This is “let them eat cake” in RW world.

They were asking her what she was doing in quarantine. She said something about how she was eating a lot of ice cream. And we all have found ourselves eating a lot of comfort food during this pandemic. That's why I didn't (and still don't ) find it a big deal.

It doesn’t cost that much as far as premium ice cream goes.

Also, how does Fox News know that Speaker Pelosi doesn’t pay for the ice cream out of her own pocket?

Of course, she would have that kind of thing on hand. And, if it's for herself, so fucking what? She loves ice cream? That makes millions of us. If I haven't been spending my entire life battling my weight, I'd have a drawer full of ice cream, too. Hell, I'm carrying a bunch of it around on my hips, as it is. Fuck those moron fuckers.

The rules clearly state the speaker of the house must, at all times, have a freezer stocked with ice cream. This, at its minimum, must include chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry. Rocky road and butter pecan are encouraged additions. Mint varieties, such as Mint Oreo Chip, are acceptable, though cannot be in substitution of the required three base flavors.

Fox folks are dumb.
