Joe Biden Wears Mask On ‘Stephen Colbert’ & Vows To ‘Beat’ Donald Trump
Hollywood Life ^ | 05 22 2020 | Jade Boren (Evening Writer)

Joe Biden debuted his protective gear on late night TV, just hours after Trump finally wore a face mask — very briefly. The POTUS didn’t want to ‘give the press the pleasure of seeing it.’

Unlike Donald Trump, Joe Biden has no problem with protecting others by wearing a face mask. The presumptive Democratic nominee for the upcoming 2020 presidential election briefly strapped his face mask on during the May 21 episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, his first time doing so on late night television (but certainly not his first time wearing a mask in general). It was a symbolic move, since just hours before the show aired, Biden’s election rival took off his mask after touring a Ford plant in Ypsilanti, Mich., simply to spite reporters.

“I wear the mask all the time,” Biden revealed to Stephen Colbert during Thursday night’s interview. The former U.S. vice president clarified, “Well, not all the time. When anybody’s around, other than Jill [his wife]. Although sometimes she wants me to put the mask on so she can’t hear me speak.”

Colbert didn’t beat around the question viewers really wanted to hear, though: “Are you gonna beat this guy?” Of course, “this guy” meant Trump, to which Biden responded with a resolute “Yes” multiple times. “Look, I don’t want to jinx myself, but I’ll tell you why. The American people fully understand what’s at stake here. This is the most important election in anybody’s life, not because I’m running, but because of the circumstances,” Biden explained.

A four flushing, senile phony if there ever was one - given an obsequious “interview” by a mediocre Hollywood bootlicker who remains bitter over his sister having suffered a defeat in an SC congressional election as a Democrat.

That sentence encapsulates the virtue-signaling vs actual protective aspect of a face mask.

How is it a face mask protects *others*, but not the wearer?

Again...when’s the last time a late night show had a Republican on? Democrats are on every other night it seems. The Fairness Doctrine requires them to present opposing views...I don’t see that happening.

Since Trump is tested every day and has been on his HCQ regime, others are in no danger of Trump without a mask.

“I wear the mask all the time,” Biden told Colbert, removing his black face covering at the top of the interview.

It is a videoconference interview. The mask is nothing but a virtue signaling prop to say “I care more than YOU!”

Is he afraid of the virus, or is he afraid of being recognized?

It was inevitable the mask would become a divisive political symbol.

I fully expect to see Joe’s face on a Milk Carton before the election.

Good point. I need to make a mask in the shape of a ribbon you can wear on your lapel. But what color should it be?

Mister Creepers wears a mask so he can sneak up on little kids better.

Even though I think Colbert is an unfunny POS, I did watch one night when he had Ted Cruz on. It may have been before or during the 2016 election. At one point the audience started to boo Cruz, but Colbert told them to pipe down and let him have his say. I don't remember what they were discussing, but Cruz actually said something that garnered a round of applause.

I'd like to see Dan Crenshaw go on. He never loses his cool, and he thinks fast on his feet.

“I wear the mask all the time,” Biden told Colber Joe does not wear a mask. He just put his depends on backward. "Doggie Do" comes out both ends. So maybe it is appropriate.💩

Master Trump is playing slo-joe like the puppet he is.

Will, they show a mask in place of Biden’s name on the ballot?

Or maybe two lines on the ballot for slo-joe?

Any Republican would be foolish to go on this or any similar show. You honestly think they will be fair to them? Their trained seal audience would hoot and yell at evry talking point

The GOP should have learned this years ago. Things have changed so much in the last 10-15 years.

What's the big deal? We've seen Biden wear a customized mask already.
