The microphone would have had to pass between his hands and body of that were the case. No one would be able to get a microphone that close.
It’s a massive microphone on the end of a very long stick. Biden leaned in past the mic. Watch the 2nd video.
Took me a while to figure this out, not gonna lie. This is a true optical illusion. The mics in question are on the left of him, the zoom mixed with compression makes it look like his hands go over the mics, but they are actually behind him. Still looking but more makes sense. pic.twitter.com/blbdWFgetn— Maxhedroom (@Maxhedroom23) March 17, 2021
