Despite his earlier call to always wear masks to protect yourself and others, looks like Joe Biden himself is not too keen on wearing masks inside indoor places.
On Saturday, Biden was once again caught not wearing a mask at a Nantucket store.
Photos show Biden wearing a black mask around his neck, leaving his mouth and nose exposed inside Murray’s Toggery Shop on the island — despite a large sign on the door advising shoppers at the clothing store “REQUIRED FACE COVERING.”
The mask mandate violation is the second offense for Biden in the past two months.
Last month, Bide was also caught walking maskless through a high-end Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C.
Earlier, White House press secretary Jen Psaki brushed aside criticism from many social media users who branded Biden as hypocrites for violating his own mask mandate.
Psaki explained that the photo where the Biden was seen walking maskless was just “moments of time”.
“I think what you are referring to is a photo of them walking out of a restaurant after they had eaten, mask in hand — where they had not yet put them back on yet,” Psaki said.
“I would say, of course, there are moments when we all don’t put masks back on as quickly as we should,” Psaki added.
Psaki added that instead of criticizing the public should always look at the reason why the mask mandate is imposed which is to protect public health.
“I don’t think we should lose the forest for the trees here — in that our objective here is to get more people vaccinated, make sure that schools and companies around the country can put in place requirements to save more lives and keep more people safer,” she said.
