White House stands by Biden’s unmasking at Medal of Honor ceremony.
Masks in the News: President Biden’s Controversial Behavior
Masks are once again making headlines, and this time, even the president is not immune.
President Joe Biden is currently wearing a mask for the next 10 days after his wife, first lady Jill Biden, tested positive for COVID-19. However, his actions regarding mask-wearing have sparked some controversy.
“The president did wear a mask in the Medal of Honor ceremony, but then took it off and didn’t put it back on,” a reporter said. ”Was that a mistake?”
According to press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, it was not a mistake. She explained that President Biden removed his mask to deliver powerful remarks about Captain Larry L. Taylor during the ceremony. He briefly remained without a mask afterward and left as planned when there was a pause in the program.
The reporter then asked if the president is “out of practice” with mask-wearing, considering the White House dropped its mask mandate in March 2022.
The White House denied this claim, stating that the president’s actions were planned to minimize his time in the room. Before the event started, President Biden spent a significant amount of time with Captain Taylor and his family, and everyone was wearing masks.
President Biden has eight more days to follow mask protocols before he can go without one.
