Joe Biden debuted his protective gear on late night TV, just hours after Trump finally wore a face mask very briefly. The POTUS didnt want to give the press the pleasure of seeing it.
Unlike Donald Trump, Joe Biden has no problem with protecting others by wearing a face mask. The presumptive Democratic nominee for the upcoming 2020 presidential election briefly strapped his face mask on during the May 21 episode of The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, his first time doing so on late night television (but certainly not his first time wearing a mask in general). It was a symbolic move, since just hours before the show aired, Bidens election rival took off his mask after touring a Ford plant in Ypsilanti, Mich., simply to spite reporters.
I wear the mask all the time, Biden revealed to Stephen Colbert during Thursday nights interview. The former U.S. vice president clarified, Well, not all the time. When anybodys around, other than Jill [his wife]. Although sometimes she wants me to put the mask on so she cant hear me speak.
Colbert didnt beat around the question viewers really wanted to hear, though: Are you gonna beat this guy? Of course, this guy meant Trump, to which Biden responded with a resolute Yes multiple times. Look, I dont want to jinx myself, but Ill tell you why. The American people fully understand whats at stake here. This is the most important election in anybodys life, not because Im running, but because of the circumstances, Biden explained.

A four flushing, senile phony if there ever was one - given an obsequious “interview” by a mediocre Hollywood bootlicker who remains bitter over his sister having suffered a defeat in an SC congressional election as a Democrat.

That sentence encapsulates the virtue-signaling vs actual protective aspect of a face mask.
How is it a face mask protects *others*, but not the wearer?
Again...when’s the last time a late night show had a Republican on? Democrats are on every other night it seems. The Fairness Doctrine requires them to present opposing views...I don’t see that happening.
Since Trump is tested every day and has been on his HCQ regime, others are in no danger of Trump without a mask.
I wear the mask all the time, Biden told Colbert, removing his black face covering at the top of the interview.

It is a videoconference interview. The mask is nothing but a virtue signaling prop to say “I care more than YOU!”
Is he afraid of the virus, or is he afraid of being recognized?
Joe is like grandpa wandering around the garden with his grandchild spraying the tomatoes.
It was inevitable the mask would become a divisive political symbol.
I fully expect to see Joe’s face on a Milk Carton before the election.
Good point. I need to make a mask in the shape of a ribbon you can wear on your lapel. But what color should it be?
Mister Creepers wears a mask so he can sneak up on little kids better.
Even though I think Colbert is an unfunny POS, I did watch one night when he had Ted Cruz on. It may have been before or during the 2016 election. At one point the audience started to boo Cruz, but Colbert told them to pipe down and let him have his say. I don't remember what they were discussing, but Cruz actually said something that garnered a round of applause.
I'd like to see Dan Crenshaw go on. He never loses his cool, and he thinks fast on his feet.
Master Trump is playing slo-joe like the puppet he is.
Will, they show a mask in place of Biden’s name on the ballot?
Or maybe two lines on the ballot for slo-joe?
The GOP should have learned this years ago. Things have changed so much in the last 10-15 years.
someone said that it seems that Biden is actually running for First Lady with all his empathy BS.
Joe Biden-the candidate in Schrodinger’s box.
Are we having green or yellow Jello tonight mommy?
