A disturbing doorbell-camera video shows a person wearing a Joe Biden mask stopping outside a Texas family’s home to eat a banana.
The unusual encounter was recorded by a Nest camera in Watauga, roughly 35 miles west of Dallas, at about 8:05 p.m. Sunday.
The masked individual approached the house, opened their jacket and revealed a T-shirt bearing the word “FREEDOM.”
The shirt had been popularized by conservative commentator Charlie Kirk, who was wearing it when he was assassinated at Utah Valley University on September 10, 2025.
The person then peeled the banana, touched the camera twice and grinned, giving viewers a close look at the mask resembling the former president.
They proceeded to eat the banana while appearing to stare into the camera, then turned around and walked away.
Watauga Police Department Chief Jim Lewis acknowledged that the stranger’s “choice of attire and snack may have raised a few eyebrows,” but said neither appeared “to have violated the law at this time.”
“While we can’t explain the costume, the banana, or the apparent political identity crisis, we can confirm that being bizarre is not, in itself, a criminal offense,” Lewis told WFAA.

Lewis said he would leave the interpretation of “political figures and evening snacks to the internet.”
After reviewing the footage, officers found no evidence that a criminal offense had occurred.
No arrests or charges have been made. Lewis said the department nevertheless takes “these types of reports” seriously.
“We encourage residents to continue reporting suspicious activity, even when the circumstances are a little bananas,” he quipped.
The family whose camera recorded the incident told the outlet that the encounter was “scary.” Their identities were not disclosed.
Officers searched the surrounding neighborhood after the masked stranger was reported but were unable to locate the person.
Police said other Watauga residents had also mentioned similar sightings on social media.
However, no additional reports concerning this particular individual had been filed directly with the department.
Police said they did not have the video available to release.
Online viewers quickly focused on the stranger’s clothing as they tried to make sense of the puzzling banana-eating appearance.
‘Wearing the Charlie Kirk shirt??’ one Facebook user asked.
Others were more offended, with one person calling the footage ‘beyond scary and disgusting.’
A separate commenter asked if it was ‘unlawful to eat a banana in a Joe Biden mask while ringing a doorbell.’
‘I think not,’ he said. ‘Might be dangerous to the banana eater!’
Some simply dismissed the stunt as a ‘lame Halloween prank’ and nothing more serious.
‘I guess these are the new Halloween pranks,’ another user wrote. ‘The old doorbell ditch is out.’
There were even jokes that the Biden impression was lacking, as the former President is known for liking a different treat.
‘He should have been eating ice cream,’ a commenter posted. ‘Opportunity missed.’
