Before delivering remarks to an audience of leaders from the International Longshore Warehouse Union (ILWU) and the Pacific Maritime Association (PMA) on Wednesday, President Biden walked out maskless, despite First Lady Dr. Jill Biden testing positive for COVID earlier this week.
And Joe actually said “don’t tell them” I didn’t wear it.
“They keep telling me…I gotta keep wearing [a mask], but don’t tell them I didn’t have it on when I walked in,” Biden told the crowd, who returned a very unenthusiastic laugh.
