President Joe Biden wants to make it very clear that he wears a mask, even when it is not necessary.
While visiting Arlington National Cemetery on Wednesday to honor soldiers who fell in Afghanistan and Iraq, the president wore a face covering even though he was nowhere near anybody.
Biden is fully vaccinated as well, making the situation an obvious example of political theater.
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidelines don’t even take any issue with fully vaccinated people gathering with other vaccinated people indoors while not wearing masks, adding another layer of virtue signaling to a situation that saw Biden walking outside while alone.
“He’s wearing a mask and is by himself in Arlington while walking the grave sites despite having been vaccinated for months now,” Newsbusters’ Curtis Houck tweeted.
“All performance. What an embarrassment,” he continued.
Other social media users also reacted to the president’s political theater:
At the beginning of his term, Biden called on all Americans to wear a mask for the first 100 days of his presidency.
Technically speaking, he would have been violating his own mandate if he did not wear a mask at Arlington National Cemetery, as he also ordered that masks be worn on all federal land.
The sight of our president wearing a mask while walking outside, completely alone and fully vaccinated, only goes to show how ridiculous that mandate is. But I digress.
The first 100 days of the Biden administration end on April 29, so it will be interesting to see if the president continues to wear a mask in these photo-op moments.
Hint: He likely will.
