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 presidents handling of the pandemic in the past. But lets 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, wed have been making sure we stockpile all the things that we need that we dont 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: Couldnt 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.

He doesn’t have the authority
If Masks are required will OUTLAWS not be required to wear them?
this is particularly interesting since President Trump NEVER ordered we the people to do anything nor did he ever order ANY of the governors to do anything, and neither did any of the fed agencies ...
Simple solution is mass disobedience. What are they going to do, arrest millions?
Karen’s on Free Republic cheer Dementia Joe’s brave stand on wearing masks.
When will he require us to wear a N95 mask 24 hours a day to save the world?
“Looks like Biden is going to carry Freerepublic now!
Yes, the Karens and Hanging Chads on Free Republic are over- joyed.
Makes one wonder if they were not Karentrolls for Biden to begin with.
Wonder what his FR sign name has been?
Incorrect. Dr. Kerkhove recently said there is no transmission for asymtomatic people based on WHO long term studies in several countries including Singapore.
As other doctors noted in agreement, illness is needed to spread a respiratory illness as is the Chinese Communist Party Virus.
That is the science.
Nothing like lowered oxygen levels. *******
To compensate for the lowered oxygen levels, the body must breathe more, which means that more air is going in and out of the lungs to give them a given amount of oxygen. How this keeps the virus count down in closed spaces is beyond me.
Only a Fauci could fall for this nonsense. The above reality posted by Socon-Econ!
lol....Biden has jumped the shark. Oh wait. He did that 40 years ago. Never mind.
Yep, that'll be next...
Will he require them to be worn as earrings or chinstraps?
I witnessed my father — the most intelligent, brave, generous, selfless, forgiving, and gentle man (2 words) — be taken down physically, mentally, and emotionally by the ravages of vascular dementia.
Biden’s family, particularly his 2nd wife, “Dr.” Jill the English major, are shamelessly exposing a sick and confused human being to ridicule. The DNC is going along because they want another sock puppet in the White House they can manipulate and control at will.
It’s all twisted, disturbing, and evil.
really so I have to wear a mask which causes me to have an asthma attack. Well take a flying jump Biden.
Does he make the young girls he has trapped in his basement wear them>
Being reported half of these cases at people under 35. Now remind me again what the average age of these riots, and commies.
