Joe Biden: I Will Force Americans to Wear Masks in Public
Breitbart ^ | June 26, 2020 | JOEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 06/26/2020 6:27:57 AM PDT by maggief

Former Vice President Joe Biden said Thursday that he would compel Americans to wear masks in public if elected president.

In an interview with Pittsburgh CBS affiliate KDKA, Biden said that he would use federal power to “mandate” masks.

Q: I know you have been critical of the president’s handling of the pandemic in the past. But let’s look ahead. If you became president tomorrow, what would you do differently regarding the pandemic and getting these surging cases now under control?

Biden: I would go back to making sure that everybody had masks, that you had PPE [personal protective equipment] lined up, we’d have been making sure we stockpile all the things that we need that we don’t have now. The one thing we do know, these masks make a gigantic difference. I would insist that everybody out in public be wearing that mask. Anyone to reopen — would have to make sure that they walked in their business that had masks.

Q: Couldn’t you use the federal leverage to mandate that, though?

Biden: Yes.

Q: Would you?

Biden: Yes, I would from an executive standpoint, yes, i would.

Q: So you would, in effect, mandate the wearing of masks.

Biden: I would do everything possible to make it required that people had to wear masks in public.

Wonder how long Biden would FORCE Americans to wear face masks..

Did KDKA check to see if Biden would have that power?
that Media is very liberal here in PA. and not surprised they got the great privilege to interview the mentally damaged person .

I for one will NEVER call Biden POTUS...HE WILL BE JUST OLD MAN BIDEN TO THIS FAMILY...

He might learn how to correctly wear one himself before he forces other people to do that.

The picture I saw yesterday showed him wearing one like a chin strap!

As I read this I look over at the TV and their is Biden with his mask pulled down rubbing his nose with his fingers. He is the Biggest Clown Alive.

He is positioning for the Karen vote.

Which is shockingly large, so this might be the first semi-intelligent thing he has attempted as a candidate. Now he just needs to promise them he will lock up any kid who scares them by making a gun with his fingers, and he will be all set for November. :)

He is all for the government putting a knee on our backs and making it so we can’t breath?

I was born premature.

I can only wear a mask for about 15 minutes at most.

Many people have marginal breathing capacity, just ask a BLM activist Joe.

In listening to Joe, it seems he is always using the phrase “I will make sure” we do this, we do that. This is something a 8th grader would say when campaigning for class President.

“...Joe Biden said Thursday that he would compel Americans to wear masks in public if elected president.”

Walter Mondale said “Mr. Reagan will raise taxes, and so will I. He won’t tell you. I just did.”

I will raise taxes

I will FORCE everyone to wear masks.

This has become a pointless discussion.

There is now overwhelming evidence from Europe and Asia that universal masking prevents transmission and speeds the rate of decline in new cases to near zero. This has occurred in France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Taiwan, Vietnam and elsewhere.

Whether the benefit is worth the burden is a valid discussion. Saying that universal masking doesn’t work is a lost cause.
