Despite the humorous presentation and a coughing mishap during tasting, vice President JD Vance and others commented negatively on the cake. The segment included online shares, including a Twitter post showing Vance and Watters reacting to the cake\u2019s taste.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/fox-news\/\">Fox News<\/a> host Jesse Watters raised eyebrows Tuesday night on <em>The Five<\/em>, sidestepping National Fudge Day on his segment called \u201cJesse\u2019s Feeding Frenzy\u201d to serve pickle cake in its place.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI was going to do fudge, because it\u2019s National Fudge Day, for the VP, but I thought it would be too gay, so I did pickle cake instead,\u201d Watters said. <\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4612571\/bob-odenkirk-better-call-saul-goodman-america-250\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Bob Odenkirk returns as Saul Goodman for America 250<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/entertainment\/4612249\/tds-the-view-james-carville-joe-concha\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>From The View\u2019s meltdown to Carville\u2019s walk-away prediction, TDS is running wild: Joe Concha<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/4611996\/ian-mckellen-destroying-mar-a-lago-filming-new-avengers-movie\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>X-Men actor Ian McKellen envisioned \u2018destroying\u2019 Mar-a-Lago while filming new Avengers movie<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Vice President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/jd-vance\/\">JD Vance<\/a> joined the group comprised of Watters, <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gutfeld\/\">Greg Gutfeld<\/a>, Dana Perino, and Jessica Tarlov.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap\" style=\"min-height:5px;\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" style=\"display:none;\">Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI\u2019m not sure if I got it right,\u201d Watters continued.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: inline-block;
