President Donald Trump called wearing a face mask „politically correct“ on Tuesday, while former vice president Joe Biden called Trump „a fool“ for demeaning them, highlighting the politicization that has emerged around face masks during the coronavirus pandemic.
On Tuesday, during a news conference in the Rose Garden, Trump asked a reporter, „Can you take it off, because I cannot hear you,“ referencing the face mask.
„I’ll just speak louder, sir,“ the reporter responded.
„Ok, you want to be politically correct. Go ahead,“ Trump replied. The reporter refused to take the mask off.
