Biden ridicules reporter questioning him for wearing mask

President Joe Biden took a swipe at a reporter for questioning why he wore a mask before discussing new guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on outside use of masks on Wednesday.

The reporter asked ‘what message’ the president was sending by wearing a face covering before his remarks on the White House grounds. ‘Watch me take it off and not put it back on until I get inside,’ the president quipped in response.

The CDC has now said that Americans who have been vaccinated against Covid-19 will no longer need to wear masks outdoors, except in crowds.
