Biden jokes about being forced to wear a mask: 'Don't tell them I didn't have it on'
Fox News
President Biden took the stage at a White House event holding a mask in his hands rather than wearing it, and joked he didn't want the audience to tell his staff.
"Hello everybody. Let me explain to the press, I've been tested again today. I'm clear across the board. But they keep telling me, because this has to be 10 days or something, I've got to keep wearing it. But don't tell them I didn't have it on when I just walked in," Biden said with a smile as attendees of the event laughed. Brandon Gillespie is an associate editor at Fox News.
