At a press conference on Tuesday, White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said that President Joe Biden would wear a mask indoors and around people, even though he had tested negative for COVID. This is what the CDC recommends. But soon after the meeting, the President seemed to say that this information was wrong. During his speech at the Medal of Honor ceremony, Biden took off his mask and didn't put it back on, even when he was close to other people. He left the event so quickly that he didn't even stay for the final prayer.
Joe Biden's Already Contradicted KJP's Remarks on Masking

This behavior is scary, especially since the White House has been pushing for COVID backers. Just last month, President Biden asked Congress for more money for boosters, and Jean-Pierre has been telling Americans to get them for a long time. It makes you wonder: If the President can't follow CDC rules about wearing masks inside, how can we expect the rest of the country to do so?

Joe Biden just BOLTED out of the room immediately after awarding the Medal of Honor to Army Captain Larry Taylor.
The ceremony continued on for several minutes afterwards.

Also, it's important to know that mask rules are coming back to places like colleges, universities, and even grade schools. Will the White House follow suit and make the American people wear masks even more? Our leader's inconsistency is a bad example and makes people wonder if these steps will work and if they are even necessary.
