Columnist Ellis Henican pushed back against Newsmax host Michael Grimm for criticizing President Joe Biden's leisure time while ignoring former President Donald Trump's White House vacation history.

During a Sunday morning segment about Biden's trip to a Delaware beach, Grimm complained about the image of the president.

"So, Ellis, this is your guy on the beach, which, by the way, I want you to know, Ellis, I can't get that vision out of my head, and I'm I'm I'm screwed up for the rest of the day," Grimm said. "Is this the right look ahead of a major international meeting for Biden?"

"I can't believe this is your argument," Henican replied. "This is un-American, denying the man a chance to visit the beach. My God."

"This thing, honestly, Mike, you know, it's just a test on how hostile you are to the president," he said. "You guys didn't mind it when Trump, looking like a big whale in a polo shirt, was waddling around the golf course."

"I guess you all thought that was, I don't know what, attractive or manly or something," Henican added. "And you just hate it when Biden does it."
