Biden Removed His Mask Inside Lincoln Memorial
Hours after signing a national mask mandate, President Joe Biden removed his mask while visiting the Lincoln Memorial Wednesday. The President, who issued the executive order during his first day as President, required face masks when inside federal buildings. Also, it requested that every American should wear a mask when they are around people outside their household.

C-SPAN Footage
Viewers spotted a maskless Biden during a televised address to the whole country. Additional C-SPAN footage also caught the 78-year old President not wearing a mask as he stood at the foot of the Lincoln memorial. The clip showed Biden standing without a mask before Lincoln’s statue. The lapse in his own safety measure happened mere hours after signing an executive order mandating masks on federal property.
“Wearing masks isn't a partisan issue – it's a patriotic act that can save countless lives. That's why I signed an executive order today issuing a mask mandate on federal property. It's time to mask up, America,” tweeted Biden Wednesday night.
Criticisms
Upon seeing his maskless picture, conservatives called out the President for the seeming double standard. “Does Joe Biden's new executive order mandating masks on federal property not apply to Joe Biden while he's on federal property? Because here he is at the Lincoln Memorial with no mask just hours after signing it,” tweeted Turning Point USA's, Charlie Kirk. Kirk included the photo of Biden who really wasn’t wearing a mask on Federal property.
Ryan Saavedra of the Daily Wire also took to Twitter to point out the irony. “Biden signed a mask mandate requiring everyone who is on federal land to have to wear masks. Here is Biden tonight at the Lincoln Memorial, which is on federal land, not wearing a mask,” he wrote.
Executive Order and 100-day Masking Challenge
During his inaugural address, Biden said that the nation's “darkest and most deadly” coronavirus pandemic days could be ahead of it. His National Mask Mandate Order includes a 100-day challenge that requires masks and social distancing in all federal buildings, on all federal land and by federal employees and contractors, and on airlines, trains, and transit systems traveling between states.
While the president and the federal mandate cannot override what state and local officials can require, Biden’s order will urge states to enact their own mandates, which most already have. Biden also said he will ask every governor to make mask-wearing mandatory in their state. In addition, he will also ask public health officials and local authorities to support their state’s mask orders.
‘I Don’t Know’
When Fox News asked about why Biden removed his mask, White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said that Biden was celebrating that evening, and delved on his executive order. Pressed if going maskless is a good example, Psaki said “but I don't know that I have more for you on it than that.” She added that yesterday was a historic moment and that the president was surrounded by family. “We take a number of precautions, but I don't think– I think we have bigger issues to worry about at this moment in time,” Psaki said.

I haven’t wore a mask from day one and don’t plan on wearing one! This is just a ploy to see how far they can push!
You said it!
only time i wear a mask is if i am going to a local retailer and they ask that u wear a mask
otherwise like my dr said we will find out how much of this covid stuff is bull shit after the election if trump doesn’t get reelected
A mask has served two purposes for me. It may have kept me from getting the virus and I have saved a ton of money on makeup
Never will wear a mask or take that vaccine……notice ….no masks and a lot of hugging at his inauguration after each one was sworn in. No social distancing…..hugs and kisses. The democrats are destroying AMERICA.
I’m sick of government robbing me of my freedoms. Good for me, but not for thee! Hypocrites, bullies, thugs, anti-American political whores, and violent agitators…that pretty much sums up the Democrats.
Haven’t worn a mask yet and have no plans to comply. Maskless and healthy
This is still America we have the God Given Right To Make Our Own Decision about what we do. The Goverment is over stepping its bounds we need to correct this problem Now before it gets worst!!
Don’t need a president or anyone else to tell me what to do. I’m an adult not a child.
It’s all about control they want to tell you what to do and when to do it
What a treasonous, fraudulent, lying president we are stuck with. God Save America.
Oviously folks here commenting also have their wills written and are ready for their funerals. Stop thinking about yourselves and politics and think about unity and people and others for once. Try it, you might like it. You enjoy getting extra stimulus checks, but don’t want to follow rules to protect you or others? I see greed, selfishness here. Self entitled children, all of you.Be ashamed of your childish attitudes.
Some very sad days are ahead of us i feel! Can only imagine how far the liberals will push this!
He has no idea what he’s been signing. The just put in front of him tell him to sign here.
CDC said that mask don’t work back in 2018. The whole issue of masks is just domination by government control freaks. In Texas you can’t walk into any retail store without one; that’s the only time I put on a mask.
I LIKE DUMB ASS REMARK. IF HE HAD HALF A BRAIN AND ANY COMMON SENSE HE WOULD NOT HAVE SHOWED UP WITH NO MASK WHEN HE DEMANDS WE ALL WEAR ONE. I AM WEARING MY MASK IN PUBLIC AS IT IS A PRECAUTIONARY PRACTICE TO HELP THE SPREAD. THIS POLL SHOWED HALF THE PEOPLE WEREN’T GOING TO WEAR ONE BECAUSE HE DIDN’t. THEIR AS MUCH IDIOTS AS HE IS. THE 50% POLL SHOWS WHY THIS COUNTRY IS IN THE STATE IT IS IN. EVEN THOUGH IT SOULD BE WISE TO WEAR ONE, THEY CHOOSE TO FOLLOW BIDEN WHAT HE DOES. BRAINLESS PEOPLE OUT THERE. BIDEN SETS NO EXAMPLE FOR ANYTHING. LOOK WHAT HE CHOSE FOR THE FIRST THING TO DO WHEN BECOMING PRESIDENT. ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS GIVEN GREEN CARDS WHEN THEY DIDN’t BELONG HERE IN THE FIRST PLACE LEGALLY. OPENING OUR BORDERS TO ANYONE. THEY PREDICT, BY THIS MOVE, WILL AVERAGE ABOUT 11,000,000 MORE PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY. IMMIGRANTS. LAST THING WE NEED RIGHT NOW. HE FAVORS FOREIGNERS OVER AMERICANS. EVERYTHING THAT MAY HELP AMERICANS HE PUTS ON THE BACK BURNER. IMMIGRANTS HAVE HIS TOP PRIORITY. THIS COUNTRY IS DOOMED, BE PREPARED.
Those who say they won’t wear a mask are being childish and foolish to think your LIBERTY is being denied. That’s a made up line of BS. You wear clothes in public, you wear shoes in a convenience store when it says to or you won’t be served, you get and keep up to date a drivers license so everyone can be safe(r) on the roads. I don’t hear you whining about those “lost liberties” Over 400,000. US citizens dead and you can’t do a small part to keep citizen safe. Shame on you! When and if a friend or relative of yours’ dies of COVID perhaps you’ll rethink this. And I agree with Willow above!
Willow,
Not all of us are sheep, and I won’t be shamed to comply with the most stupid mandate to ever come out of our federal government. I’m not listening to your ilk.
Big BAD Joe, LOL Just another Swamp Turd ~~
If masks work then why do we need social distancing? If social distancing works why do we need masks?
If you want to wear a mask then fine wear one, don’t demand that I wear one as long as I keep my distance. Some of us do have medical issues that make wearing a mask difficult if not down right unhealthy.
Unity smunity, I don’t care what the hell they say dumbass Biden and Cameltoe will never be my president. ILLEGITIMATE!!!!!
Anyone else notice the new speaker has all the answers right in front of her and in order. Nice to get a heads up😆
Also, Willow, how many people wearing masks and distancing got the china virus? Ill bet most of them were following these mandates and didnt have their wills in order because, how can you get the virus if you do what government tells you? Really curious! 😆
wear your useless fucking masks you fucking sheeple coward spineless snowflakes and shut the fuck up
And so it begins. Do as we say but not as we do. Now if that would have been president trump that would have dove that they would have jumped all over that and still been ridiculing him for it. The wolf is emerging out from under the sheep’s disguise… be prepared the worse us yet to cone
Do you really expect this pawn to know what he’s signing?!?! What a crock of $/*!. I feel as if I’m in the Twilight Zone….What’s Ridiculous, Asinine, Corrupt and Bogus seems to be the norm now for this country, while What’s True, Patriotic, Intelligent and God Fearing seems to be completely abnormal now. God please help us! We need President Trump back. NOW!!!
Are you serious….his press secretary said….they have more important issues to worry about right now….Like what???? With all the crap the hoax virus has brought, death, loss of jobs, business shut downs etc…. More example of the hoax….all coronavirus did was cure cancer, heart conditions etc….
Back to what’s more important…puppet Joey wants his payment from China….I’m sure it would have been bonus day.
How about we all start calling them what they are, DOOMocrats!
It’s not about health or safety – it’s ALL about CONTROL.
OSHA has stated that NO mask can prevent the spread of the virus.
It’s also been noted by other authorities that wearing a mask for lengthy periods of time will result in the wearer showing symptoms of the virus.
The latest from WHO is that if you have no symptoms you do not need to be tested.
it’s about CONTROL………….nothing more
OMG, God have mercy. He is just an old mentally sick man. The ones who got him there are to be blamed for.
I have always worn a mask, as have the rest of my family, from day one and will continue to until this is gone. . I am and always will be a Trump supporter, but I think a mask is very important
WHAT AN ASSHOLE. ORDERING AMERICANS TO WEAR A MASK AT ALL TIMES. OUR RECENTLY ELECTED PRESIDENT IS ORDERING US WHEN HE, AS AN ASSHOLE, DOESN’T BELIEVE IN WEARING A MASK AS SEEN IN THE PHOTO. WHY SHOULD WE HAVE TO WEAR ONE WHEN OUR PRESIDENT DOES NOT HAVE BALLS ENOUGH TO WEAR ONE HIMSELF.
President Biden was in his house, standing alone with his wife.
The reporter is an idiot and most of the comments are from morons.
Biden was standing in front of a camera, broadcasting a speech to the American public. That’s why he had his mask off. Would you prefer he wear a mask to make listening more difficult?
Grow up, please.
It shows the hypocrisy of the liberal DemonRats
AGREE With your comments ! Biden doesn’t have the Strength to last 4 years! Bet he has to take a NAP Biden is Obama Puppet! Obama is making all the Decisions! Really Pisses me off! Politicians are not saying anything about China causing this VIRUS! Americans Lives! Why isn’t Americans Bitching about China? Should make China pay! Big Time! Should NUKE CHINA Bunch Dog 🐶 Cat 🐱 Uncivilized Meat Eaters! Eat all kinds Animals
only president ever that has a hard time completing a full sentence so why should we expect him to remember what he signed yesterday
I have 2 friends who traveled on vacation via airplane. Both wore face shields IN ADDITION to the masks required on planes, and both came down with COVID-19 a few days later.
Actually these are lies and misinformation as usual! Biden was speaking, sans mask at the Lincoln Memorial TUESDAY night 1/19/21, not WEDNESDAY 1/20/21 when he signed the mask mandate. Before you start to complain about Tom Hanks, Bruce Springsteen et.al. performing in front of the Lincoln Memorial without masks on, in celebration of Biden’s inauguration on the evening of 1/20/21, let me remind you that they were all socially distanced. Please fact check before posting false claims!
Biden in the white house is like putting a kindergartener in charge of the cookie jar. He has made a mess aleady.only reason he signed ex.orders was bec Trump signed them. What a way to run a country. He says unemployment needs attention, then closes the pipeline.he cares for us then opens the borders for disease,drugs,human trafficking, crime and more unemployment.Is he the best they have? I am 81 and never saw so much hatred.God will see us thru and these evil folks will pay.
For everyone who voted for Biden and everyone who chastised those who refuse to wear a mask, go fuck yourselves!
