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.

how? How do you plan to do this Joe? I can’t wait to see him try.
If you are healthy, wearing a mask is a sign of submission.
A fine quote.
What’s currently going on is Anarcho-tyranny.
Biden wants us all to wear masks to lower the 120 million death rate from the virus.
OMG!!....ITS A VIRUS!!.....QUICK, BURN THE BILL OF RIGHTS!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not in Indiana - not even close to 50%
LOL! Biden isn't going to take Indiana, not even close. They're still trying to live down going for Obama in 2008.
What, for the 200 million out of 300,000,000 that survived Covid in the U.S.
The left is always all about “forcing” you to do what they want. Forcing you to wear a mask, forcing you to buy Obamacare, trying to force or coerce you to think like them...
The “why doesnt Trump DO something” crowd, yearn to live under federal “mandates”
Actually it looks like Taiwan and Vietnam nay have lower cases due to the MMR vaccine. No proof that universal marking does anything but keep spreading that myth
The do something crowd is jut frustrated. It's difficult to serve revenge cold and not when hot like now. But there's a reason for the saying.
Not me. I won’t be muzzled. I won’t wear a training burka.
Heck, the left would hire the BLM group(s) to enforce their laws.
That thought crossed my mind the other day. Here I am at the bank with a mask on and a gun in my pocket. Billy the kid was laughing his arse off.
JB: and the mark of the Beast.
Q: the mark of the Beast?
JB: Yes. if they are wearing a mask, that is not enough, they must show their allegiance to my biggest supporter.
Ayn was such an awe inspiring oracle. Such scary wisdom.
Biden wouldn’t be saying this unless the DNC is pretty sure this is a winning message.
Considering the GOP-e is now Dem-Lite, I would be afraid either.
