The White House claimed today that they had planned for Biden walk out of the Medal of Honor ceremony early to minimize his risk of getting COVID.
KJP said he was supposed to walk out during a pause before the reception.
Watch:
Jean-Pierre says they planned for Biden to leave the Medal of Honor ceremony yesterday before it ended to "minimize his close contact with attendees" and says he "took off his mask as I said he would to deliver powerful remarks." (she did not in fact say he would do that) pic.twitter.com/9eYq05W7nW

Then why didn’t Biden just explain that he was going to leave early instead of just wondering out like an old fool who didn’t know what he was doing? And I did check yesterday’s press briefing and I couldn’t find anywhere she said Biden would leave early from the ceremony.
Honestly, it just seems like they are making it up to cover for Biden’s flub.
