Video of Joe Biden Maskless in D.C. Restaurant Viewed Over 600K Times

Quote:
Video from Joe and Jill Biden's "date night" shows the couple walking through a restaurant in D.C. without wearing masks, in what appeared a violation of rules.

President Biden and the first lady were filmed exiting Fiola Mare, a Michelin-starred Italian seafood restaurant, in Washington Harbor on Saturday evening.

The blurry footage appeared to show a maskless Jill Biden walk past a table ahead of her husband, who follows with a mask in his hands but not over his face.

Photographs by news agency The Associated Press and picture agency Getty also showed the couple emerging from the restaurant without masks on their faces, being accompanied by secret service officers who did have masks on.

D.C. rules state masks must be worn inside restaurants when not eating or drinking

The mask mandate is only for the proletariat.

Yeah, the elite are exempt from the rules. Lots of Dems have been caught out recently for not wearing masks in public, like AOC and the governor of California.

It would be poetic justice if some of these people caught COVID enough to make them quite miserable for a time.

If they are not spreading COVID directly they are indirectly responsible for spreading COVID by strengthening the anti COVID vaccine movement.

Evidence suggests that is the case.
This flouting of the rulz is common, amongst celebrities.
There have been many examples where masks have been put on only for photo sessions.

Are masks mandated in restaurants??? You can't eat with a mask on, after all. In a restaurant or bar, what would make sense is a vaccine mandate but not a mask mandate.

On the other hand, it seems to me that mask mandates -- but not vaccine mandates -- make sense in grocery stores and other places where there are crowds of people indoors but the people are not eating or drinking.

This is kinda dumb, how is anyone supposed to eat with a mask on?
The MAGAs seriously need to find something more constructive to exert their energy.

Protecting him from what? COVID?
What about the millions of other people who take their mask off to eat :roll:

Yes I was saying the president doesn't need a mask because he has the secret service to protect him from the covid virus. Now ask me if I was being serious :D

Now on the serious side, people in restaurants are supposed to have a mask on at all times they are not seated at their table while eating. Apparently Biden was walking through the restaurant unmasked, which is a no no.

Not that I care any.

I got the quote wrong, as most people do. Here's the original clip.

The mask mandate is confusing and technically it's a breach. But I've been restaurants during the last two years and nobody wears a mask once they enter because essentially everyone sitting down is maskless, Plus when you get up to go to the bathroom or pay the bill or stretch your legs you don't bother putting your mask back. Nobody cares because it makes zero difference.
