Over the weekend, President Joe Biden was caught shopping inside a store with his mask down, despite the town mandating them indoors.
Biden, who has repeatedly urged Americans to wear the masks, was seen inside Murray’s Toggery Shop on the island of Nantucket today with his mask around his neck and not covering his mouth despite a visible sign outside the door instructing patrons to wear a mask.
The White House press pool, however, claimed that Biden was drinking what appeared to be a milkshake when he walked out of the shop at 4:45 p.m.
The president is spending his Thanksgiving holiday in Nantucket, where they re-instituted an indoor mask mandate earlier this month.
Biden then ignored a question on what more needs to be done to potentially stop the rising omicron COVID variant as he walked down the street to another store.
In October, Biden was spotted walking through a restaurant in Washington D.C., where there was a mask requirement, without a mask on his face altogether, although he did have one in his hands.
We reported at the time:
Today, White House press secretary Jen Psaki dismissed a viral video of the Bidens walking maskless through a Washington D.C. restaurant over the weekend and insisted, “We shouldn’t lose the forest through the trees.”
Psaki appeared to be trying to be using the phrase “Miss the forest through the trees” which means to not understand or appreciate the larger situation.
Many would argue, however, that the larger situation is that Democrat public officials don’t appear to want to play by the same rules that they impose on their constituents.
Fox News’ Peter Doocy had asked Psaki why they would do that at the White House press briefing, pointing out that “there is a mask requirement inside D.C. restaurants.”
Psaki responded, “I think what we are referring to is a photo of them walking out of a restaurant after they had eaten, masks in hand, where they had not put them on yet.”
Doocy later pointed out that it was not just exiting a restaurant and that the president specifically was walking through the restaurant, although both can clearly be seen walking through the restaurant.
A patron is not allowed to walk through a restaurant without a mask in the nation’s capitol and that sort of rule would typically be enforced with great vigor for the average person.
