- President Joe Biden addressed the Nashville school shooting from the White House on Monday, quickly turning the tragedy into a push for tighter gun control — but first he opened with a joke about ice cream.
- Biden, who was speaking to an East Room full of female business owners, began his remarks by joking that he had only joined them because he’d heard there was going to be ice cream.
- “My name is Joe Biden. I’m Dr. Jill Biden’s husband. And I eat Jeni’s ice cream — chocolate chip. I came down because I heard there was chocolate chip ice cream,” he said. “By the way, I have a whole refrigerator full upstairs. You think I’m kidding? I’m not.”
