First lady Jill Biden was heckled by unknown bystanders on Wednesday as she walked into a Connecticut ice cream shop.
“Your husband is the worst President we ever had, you owe us gas money,” a man shouted at Biden as she walked into the Arethusa Farms ice cream shop in New Haven.
“Thank you! Thank you for your support, thank you!” Biden responded with a smile and a wave.
A second heckler then shouted at Biden, “You suck!”

“This morning, President Biden tested positive for COVID-19,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said in a written statement on Thursday. “He is fully vaccinated and twice boosted and experiencing very mild symptoms. He has begun taking Paxlovid. Consistent with CDC guidelines, he will isolate at the White House and will continue to carry out all of his duties fully during that time. He has been in contact with members of the White House staff by phone this morning, and will participate in his planned meetings at the White House this morning via phone and Zoom from the residence.”
