Brit Hume Mocks Joe Biden’s Mask-Wearing

Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden emerged into the light of day yesterday and made his first public appearance in two months.

Biden donned a mask as he placed a wreath at a veterans memorial in honor of Memorial Day.

Brit Hume pointed out how pointless this mask wearing was.

Biden was visiting a cemetery with his wife. Both have been quarantined for weeks. So what others was protecting, pray tell? https://t.co/yR1xbI0V5Q

Hume is 100% correct. Wearing a mask out in the fresh air with the person you have been quarantined with is totally unnecessary. Well, unless your whole point is to virtue signal.

Biden’s mask-wearing reminds me of all the people I’ve seen wearing masks while driving alone in their cars. USELESS.

This might help explain why Trump doesn’t like to wear a mask in public. Biden today. pic.twitter.com/9l1gw1ljBE

Of course Hume was dishonestly attacked for his position.

Apparently the cool factor trumps the nearly 100,000 dead in America from COVID-19. https://t.co/lXMlKx50QX

Hume wasn’t talking about the “cool factor.” He was primarily addressing the “science factor.” There is no benefit or need to wear a mask outdoors when you are nowhere near other humans (who you haven’t been in quarantine with).

Dishonest media gonna be dishonest though. It’s just infuriating par for the course.
