What Does Joe Biden Really Think About Mask Mandates? No One Knows.

The Biden administration was caught flat-footed after the mask mandate on public transportation was struck down by a federal judge. Members of the administration had contradicting reactions to the ruling throughout the day Tuesday, sparking confusion among the media and the public on how to approach travel.

April 19, 1:00pm:

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki: “We would advise all Americans to [wear masks on airplanes].”

April 19, 2:00pm:

Reporter: “Mr. President, should people continue to wear masks on planes?”

Joe Biden: “That’s up to them.”

April 19, 3:00pm:

HHS Secretary Xavier Becerra: “We likely will appeal” the mask mandate ruling.

April 19, 3:45pm:

Reporter: “Is your administration going to appeal the mask mandate ruling?”

Biden: “I’ve not gotten any brief from my CDC. I don’t know. Follow the science.”

April 19, 6:00pm:

Department of Justice: “The Department of Justice and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) disagree with the district court’s decision and will appeal…”

This is not the first time the White House has taken contradictory stances on an issue. Democrats are publicly criticizing the president for his plans to revoke Title 42 – a Trump-era policy that played a key role in reducing the number of border crossings during COVID.

Bottom line: Joe Biden is either incapable or unwilling to be the leader our country needs. The Biden administration once again bungled their messaging because they’re more concerned with playing politics than acting in the best interests of the American people.
