Ted Cruz mock Joe Biden over ‘creepy’ clip of him telling children that ‘Daddy owes you’ ice cream
Joe Biden raised eyebrows after he told a group of children their ‘daddy owes’ them and that he would suggest a place for ice cream.
The president made the off-hand remark during an event at the White House on Wednesday.
He had just been introduced to the stage by an energy executive who said his children were in the audience. Biden joked: ‘I wanna say one thing to your children: I know some really great ice cream places around here, and daddy owes you. Talk to me afterwards.’
A clip of the comment was posted to social media by the Republic National Committee, where some remarked it was ‘creepy’.
Ted Cruz, the senator from Texas, reposted it with the hashtag ‘#StrangerDanger’.
The event on Wednesday was to mark the first anniversary of the Inflation Reduction Act.
Biden, speaking at a White House ceremony, said the legislation already created 170,000 clean energy jobs and will create some 1.5 million jobs over the next decade, while significantly cutting the nation’s carbon emissions.
Biden was introduced by Scott Strazic, the CEO of energy company GE Vernova.
Strazic said: ‘When America innovates, the world wins. So on behalf of our GE Vernova employees, on behalf of my nine-year-old daughter and my 11-year-old son I’m thankful to have here today, and their generation – because that’s why we’re doing this work – I want to thank the President.’
Biden then took the podium and made the comment.
Dan Everhart, the CEO of oilfield service company Canary, said on X: ‘Exactly how hard is it for Joe Biden to NOT be a complete creep around kids??’
It’s not the first time the president has been mocked by his critics for awkward comments or interactions with children.
In a July trip to Finland, the president pretended to gobble up a little girl then sniffed her while greeting wellwishers at an airport.
The 80-year-old President was caught engaging with the mom and daughter as he prepared to fly back to Washington from Europe.
Biden was in Helsinki following the NATO summit in Lithuania, where he was also slammed for making a creepy comment to a female Finnish reporter.
It is the latest bizarre clip of the president, who has often raised questions in the past for his interactions with youngsters.
Footage showed Biden leaning into the young girl in her mother’s arms on the tarmac at Helsinki airport.
He moved his mouth in a gobbling motion towards the youngster before resting it on her shoulder and continuing to nibble.
The girl’s mom and a man watching on laughed at the president, but the child looked horrified and scowled at him as he backed away.
She continued to squirm and turned her back on the commander-in-chief as her mother tried to take a selfie.
Meanwhile Biden kept making faces at her before appearing to try to smell her head or nuzzle her.
He finally walked away before being greeted by other onlookers hoping to grab a picture with him. The girl continued to sulk in her mother’s arms.

Liz Cheney Reveals Lengths She Would Go To Stop Trump In 2024
Former Republican Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney said she is contemplating a third-party presidential run, warning of the dangers that would come from former President Donald Trump serving as president next year for a second term.
Speaking to the Washington Post on Monday while promoting her new book, Oath and Honor: A Memoir and a Warning, Cheney said she would not have thought about a third-party run several years ago but feels the former president’s presidential bid threatens democracy.
“I happen to think democracy is at risk at home, obviously, as a result of Donald Trump’s continued grip on the Republican Party, and I think democracy is at risk internationally as well,” Cheney said.
Cheney, once a rising star in the Republican Party before becoming one of Trump’s most outspoken GOP critics, said she would make a final decision within the next few months.
“We face threats that could be existential to the United States, and we need a candidate who is going to be able to deal with and address and confront all of those challenges,” Cheney said. “That will all be part of my calculation as we go into the early months of 2024.”
Cheney served as vice chairwoman of the House Jan. 6 committee and was one of 10 House Republicans who joined all Democrats in voting to impeach Trump for a second time following the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol. She was ousted in the Wyoming primary last year by a Trump-backed challenger, now-Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY).
She has not ruled out voting for President Joe Biden if he is the 2024 Democratic nominee, telling CBS on Sunday that a Republican congressional majority with Trump in the White House would pose a threat to democracy.
Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has been on a string of media appearances, further fueling speculation about a presidential bid.
“I don’t even want to imagine a situation where he has won,” Cheney said on MSNBC’s The Rachel Maddow Show. “I think we have to do everything we can to stop him in terms of, again, the kind of things we have been working on, working in a nonpartisan fashion.”
Cheney emphasized Republicans, Democrats, and independents need to “work together” and “vote together” to “make clear that Donald Trump is not an acceptable alternative.”
“He is not the lesser of two evils,” Cheney said. “He is a completely unfit man for office. He’s already shown us what he would do, and he can never be near the Oval Office again.”

Professor fired for criticizing homosexuality responds to Christian College
A college professor has filed a lawsuit against a Christian college after being fired over social media posts he made criticizing homosexuality.
Dr. Aaron Edwards was fired in March following statements he made online, ending his employment at Cliff College, located in England, that lasted for seven years. Edwards revealed Tuesday that he has enlisted the help of Christian Legal Centre to support his case against the school, according to Fox News Digital.
“I think many Christians have not been willing to say things that will offend people,” he said. “The British people especially find it hard to offend people in ways that other cultures don’t because they’re more willing to say, ‘This is what I believe, and you need to kind of get over it. And I’m free to say that.’ I think in Britain for many years, we’ve tolerated a kind of self-silencing.”
Edwards had claimed on Feb. 19 that homosexuality was “invading the Church” and that many Christians no longer saw “the severity” that such an invasion posed. The statement caused major pushback among LGBT activists, and Cliff College issued a statement calling Edwards’s post “unacceptable” and “inappropriate.”
The professor refused to delete his post, which ultimately led to his firing.
Edwards believes that more Christians will have to face similar situations that he underwent this year, warning that progressive ideology is “invading” both the church and society itself. However, he also said he is encouraged by others who have pushed back against progressive ideology within the church and hopes that the lawsuit against Cliff College will help raise awareness about free speech being at risk in the United Kingdom.
