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.
