President Joe Biden was spotted shaking hands with people in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Friday without wearing a mask despite describing indoor masking as a “patriotic duty.”
After delivering remarks Friday, Biden can be seen in a video walking away from the podium maskless as he approaches members of the crowd to greet them. Since his election, Biden has made similar comments about wearing masks as being a “patriotic duty.”
In an April 2021 interview commemorating his 100 days in office, Biden said he would continue wearing masks even outside despite the newly released guidelines from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) saying vaccinated people can remove masks outside. In May 2021 the CDC announced vaccinated people no longer had to wear masks indoors, then later changed guidelines due to the spread of Delta and Omicron variants.
