Joe Biden, like most Democrat officials, wears a mask inconsistently. The “no mask” and the ‘yes mask” have no connection to what they say about the “why mask” reasons. No: baseball game, party, talking to press. Yes: Photo ops, third vaccine dose, walking up to same press.
Actually it’s not inconsistent at all, of course. He does it when it’s for virtue signaling and not when it’s inconvenient. Knowing that, journalist Sharyl Attkisson put the somewhat rhetorical question to Twitter after watching Biden approach reporters while masked and then take it down to spray spittle in their faces while he yells at them about questioning him. It’s a weekly, sometimes daily occurrence.
President Biden is wearing a mask outside. He walks up to press corps, takes down the mask, and talks to them.
Please explain the purpose of the mask.

She got some good answers:
Political theater. A comedy and tragedy.. with heavy emphasis on the tragedy part for all of us Americans. https://t.co/ml1tYYQIdP

Biden in a dugout at a baseball game without a mask but walks outside from Marine 1 helicopter with a mask ? https://t.co/eNZEOuFANf

Mask theater. That's all it's ever been. Him and the first lady, both vaccinated, kissed each other outside wearing masks. Should be considered the stupidest thing any president has ever done, in all of history. https://t.co/oUxrpaD72n

Science says…You can catch COVID only when you are walking.

Walking or quietly sitting in class as an elementary school student, apparently.
Here’s the right answer though, when it comes to Biden personally:
He is told to wear it.
