Karine Jean-Pierre, do you think we’re stupid? After the White House Press Secretary’s laughable explanation for Joe Biden leaving early from a Medal of Honor Ceremony on Tuesday, it certainly appears that way.
The ceremony was held in honor of U.S. Army Capt. Larry Taylor was a heroic helicopter pilot in the Vietnam War. Biden’s salute, while a bit clumsy, was not the only thing that seemed off. after the president suddenly bolted from the stage and out the back of the room, leaving Taylor standing alone before the ceremony was closed with a benediction.

Jean-Pierre said that it was “done deliberately.” What was the cause? She said that the president was trying to limit his exposure to those present after Jill Biden recently tested positive for COVID-19.

So let me get this straight. The White House was so worried about Biden possibly passing COVID-19 to those in the room that he couldn’t stand there an extra few minutes to hear the closing prayer, but it was fine for him to be there in the first place? And if he didn’t want to expose the audience, wouldn’t it make more sense for him to let the audience members leave first so he doesn’t prance right through the middle of them? I mean, come on. That doesn’t begin to make sense.
Consider it. There’s no reason to keep Biden in the room if he was exposed to COVID-19 by his wife and the administration believes that he can spread the virus. Jean-Pierre’s discussion with the reporter about masks is funny to me, given that we know they are ineffective. But the White House thinks masks will work.
Was it not dangerous and inappropriate for Biden, given that, to remove his face mask inches from another elderly gentleman? Isn’t that a breach of protocol, particularly since Jean-Pierre claims that the President will wear a mask soon when he meets with world leaders?
Sincerity be damned, I don’t buy any of it. I believe Biden got confused and left earlier than expected because this is exactly what he does. These attempts at backfilling an explanation come across as stupid and unbelievable.
