White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki defended President Joe Biden for failing to wear a mask on federal land, despite signing a mandate ordering Americans to do so.
Biden and members of his family appeared at the Lincoln Memorial Wednesday evening without masks, despite the president signing a mask mandate for federal property earlier in the afternoon. On Thursday, Biden also spoke and signed executive orders at the White House without wearing a mask.
“He was surrounded by his family, we take a number of precautions but I think we have bigger issues to worry about at this moment in time,” Psaki explained.
Psaki was questioned about Biden’s apparent hypocrisy on masks by Fox News reporter Peter Doocy, but it appeared that she did not have a prepared answer.
“I think he was celebrating in the evening of a historic day in our country and certainly he signed the mask mandate because it’s a way to send a message to the American public about the importance of wearing masks,” Psaki said.
When asked why Biden failed to lead by the “power of his example” that he frequently speaks about, Paski replied, “The power of his example is also the message he sends by signing 25 executive orders including almost half of them related to COVID.”

Laws are for little people
Biden and his Handlers are Morons ?
Wow...
I’m in third grad and you are only in the second, response.
In other words we are democrats you don’t get to ask us hard questions peasant
Want to bet they forgot they mandated it ,LOL
Yep what a lame answer. What message is sent when leaders don’t follow the mandates they impose on the rest of us?
It's good to be dictator.
Psaki is a soulless ginger.
I’m surprised someone was even allowed to ask about the obvious hypocrisy.
Yeah, bigger issues---like thoroughly destroying our country and Trump, way beyond what anyone even remotely normal would undertake. I have never seen such a multifacted attack on anyone such as the current one being carried out by the rabid INSANE Dimmocommies. They are like rabid fiends bashing, slashing, cutting, shooting, burning everything in sight, in the greatest glee. Latest I heard was banks are refusing Trump to have an account there. That is not only non-American, I'd bet in some way it was absolutely illegal. My desire to see Pelousy, Schumer, Schiff, etc. bashed to a bloody pulp grows with every succeeding insane revelation.
Yeah, that’s a similar mentality to that NJ governor saying the Constitution is “above my pay grade”.

I interpret her response to mean “our ideas are not intended for practical application, they are only intended to show our moral superiority.”
Silly peasants, the rules don’t apply to the elites. Some animals are more equal than others. Now, had that been President Trump he would have been blamed for a “super spreader” event and held personally responsible for 87 covid deaths, including 2 suicides by gunshot...
“I think he was celebrating in the evening of a historic day
Good to know the china virus takes days off when something historic happens..how commies rule, rules for thee but not for meee
I’ll bet Psaki is a senior member of the Taylor Swift Little Princess Fan Club and licked a lot of Mail In envelopes for the cause.
How convenient!!
Some are hoping that Joe will come down with the virus and pass on ...
