We already know what hypocrites politicians are when it comes to their own lockdown rules, and we’ve seen footage of reporters in the White House briefing room removing their masks the moment they thought the cameras had stopped rolling. The trick, you see, is to wear the mask while the press has its cameras rolling and then take it off the moment the coast is clear.
CNN’s Kate Bennett has a different take, though. She reports that first lady Melania Trump didn’t wear a mask while walking past reporters on her way to Marine One, but slipped on a mask once she’d boarded. Is it just us or does it make sense for her to wear the mask while in an enclosed space and not while walking outdoors away from other people? Or was she supposed to be wearing a mask as a role model? We don’t know what the angle is here:
. @FLOTUS put a mask on when she boarded Marine One.
But she didn’t wear one walking to get on, you know, when press cameras and crews were shooting footage. pic.twitter.com/mw0TXqR1dT— Kate Bennett (@KateBennett_DC) December 5, 2020
She was, you know, walking outdoors.
I’ll spell it out: she has enormous influence as @flotus. Wearing a mask, outdoors/indoors while in front of cameras, would be an impactful & responsible way to remind Americans that doing so can help prevent the spread of a virus that is currently killing at record pace.

OK, thanks for spelling it out. What would we do without CNN?

Looks like she put on a mask after entering an indoor confined space. Just as it's recommended.
Get over yourself.

Wow, that’s breaking news. I love the implosion of the MSM. I sense a ton of “reporters” moving to careers in the coffee pouring industry soon.

You should do a little investigation into how and where viruses are spread.

She put a mask on when she got into a confined space – hence being responsible.- but away from the cameras – yet somehow she has done wrong, because she didn’t play up to the cameras by putting it on outside – when not needed .

So she didn’t wear one outside? Shocking…

The science says outdoors walking alone or with others 6 feet away is fine. Educate yourself. #ScienceMatters

She was well over six feet away from the press, hysteric. ?

So she wore a mask inside an enclosed location but didn’t performatively wear one while walking outside with no one around her? Fascinating… https://t.co/fiuUMGrMsK

Now we have members of the press being mask scolds. What should we think whenever we see Joe Biden without a mask on?
