White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki downplayed the President’s potential health issues during her daily briefing Friday; saying the Commander-in-Chief “follows every protocol” to avoid COVID-19.
“The president was hoarse and coughing today. Lots of people in the workforce are encouraged not to go to work if they’re exhibiting those symptoms. […] Are the rules different for the president?” asked the journalist.
“I can assure you the president follows every protocol,” fired-back the Press Secretary.
