White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki had a typical, elitist response when asked by reporters why Joe Biden broke his own rule hours after signing a mask mandate executive order.

Psaki was asked earlier today by Fox News reporter Peter Doocey why Biden broke his own executive order last night and did not wear a mask while visiting the Lincoln Memorial with his family—who were also maskless.

“He was celebrating an evening of a historic day in our country and certainly he signed the mask mandate because it’s a way to send a message to the American public about the importance of wearing masks, how it can save tens of thousands of lives,” said Psaki.

The executive order, which he signed yesterday, which “mandates masks in federal buildings, on federal lands, and on airlines, trains, and other transit systems that commute between states.”

When pressed by Doocey if Biden set a good example by going out maskless, Psaki explained that Biden had a historic day and was “surrounded by his family.”

“I think we have bigger issues to worry about at this moment in time,” she said.

It’s interesting that Biden is allowed to be “surrounded by his family,”—maskless—while every day Americans are told by government officials to isolate themselves from non-household family members for months on end for fear of killing grandma.

“Rules for thee, but not for me,” seems to be a theme when it comes to lockdown-loving, mask-mandating hypocritical Democrat leaders across the country.
