Snarky Biden snaps at reporter who asked about mask use: ‘I’m worried about you’

As his administration continues to be criticized for sending mixed messages to Americans on face mask use, President Biden snapped at a reporter Friday who asked why he wore one to a sparsely attended indoor event.

The reporter asked Biden why he chooses “to wear a mask so often when you’re vaccinated and you’re around other people who are vaccinated.”

“Because I’m worried about you,” Biden shot back in a serious tone.

After a dramatic pause, Biden quickly backtracked, insisting, “No, that’s a joke. It’s a joke.”

“Why am I wearing the mask? Because, when we’re inside, it’s still good policy to wear the mask. That’s why,” Biden continued.

“When I’m outside — and the problem is: Lots of times, I walk away from this podium, you notice, I forget to put my mask back on because I’m used to not wearing it outside.”

The remarks were in the cavernous White House East Room. Most, if not all, of Biden’s staff and most White House journalists are vaccinated. To access White House grounds, reporters also must test negative each morning.

Biden has struggled with messaging on masks after the CDC last week said that there’s no reason for vaccinated people to wear them outdoors.

Calling Biden “snarky” gives far too much credence to his mental acuity. He can no more come up with snark than he can fly.
