Biden has ‘bigger issues’ to worry about than following own mask mandate: Psaki
Quote:
President Biden has "bigger issues" to worry about than following his own rule about wearing a face mask on federal property, according to White House press secretary Jennifer Psaki.
The new president ditched his face mask for a period of time while addressing the public Wednesday from the Lincoln Memorial, on federal land, and as he stood at the foot of the statue of the nation’s 16th president, C-SPAN footage shows. He put his mask on after the address. Hours earlier, he had signed a mandate requiring masks on federal property, as well as on interstate public travel.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy questioned the press secretary about the Biden family’s maskless moments during a Thursday briefing. Psaki said that the president had been "celebrating" a "historic day in our country." She said he’d been surrounded by family.
At least the Lincoln Memorial event was outdoors. I do not know if the grandkids tested negative or were vaccinated beforehand. If not what they did was unsafe.
As for maskless Press Secretary Psaki while people were socially distant at the press conference the event was indoors. Unsafe.
As a person with a speech impediment due to innate reasons and tongue replacement surgery I more then understand mask wearing makes it harder to be understood and her job is to be understood. That said they do have to set an example. Trump was rightly heavily criticized for his lack of mask wearing. Yes Trump was worse, way worse with his continual downplaying of the disease, advocacy of quack treatments etc, etc. Trump is not President anymore you are, C’mon man.
