Biden Confesses Breaking Protocol Upon Entering Press Briefing
President Joe Biden Breaks Protocol at Press Briefing
During a recent White House press briefing, President Joe Biden made a request to the attendees: not to mention that he wasn’t wearing a face mask. As he ascended the stage to the presidential dias, Biden pulled out a black mask from his pocket, but before putting it on, he assured everyone that he had tested negative for the coronavirus.

Biden explained that he was following orders to wear a mask for 10 days after the coronavirus diagnosis of first lady Jill Biden. He jokingly added, “But they keep telling me, because it has to be 10 days or something, I gotta keep wearing them. But don’t tell them I didn’t have it on when I walked in. Alright?”
However, for the rest of the news conference, Biden refused to wear a mask. He discussed negotiations between international shipping companies and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union, disregarding the mask requirement.
These remarks have raised questions about who is in charge of Biden’s personal health measures. Some wonder if he was being entirely serious during his mask monologue.

“They” said I have to wear a mask. Don’t tell “them” I didn’t have it on.

It’s not the first time Biden has suggested that he requires permission from other governmental figures for certain actions. In the past, he expressed his desire to visit Ukraine in 2022 but claimed that the Secret Service had forbidden it. However, no federal official or agency has the authority to mandate the president wear a mask without his consent or dictate his travel plans.
While some officials like Dr. Anthony Fauci express concerns about mask mandates, a comprehensive analysis of scientific studies led by University of Oxford epidemiologist Tom Jefferson concluded that mask mandates were ineffective at preventing the spread of coronavirus.
President Biden’s decision to break protocol at the press briefing has sparked discussions about personal freedoms and the role of masks in preventing the spread of the virus.
