Democrats are offering an excuse for Joe Biden’s sudden exit in the middle of a White House Medal of Honor ceremony on Tuesday… and it’s a doozy.
On Tuesday, Joe Biden abruptly walked out during a Medal of Honor ceremony held in the East Room. During the ceremony, Biden awarded helicopter pilot Captain Larry L. Taylor of the United States Army with the Medal of Honor for his valor and sacrifice.
Joe Biden entered the East Room wearing a COVID mask, but removed it before delivering a speech, honoring Captain Taylor’s service to the nation.
In response to questions about Biden suddenly bolting during the ceremony, Karine Jean-Pierre explained, “He left when there was a pause in the program in order to minimize his close contact with attendees who were about to participate in a reception.”
Watch:
White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre says Joe Biden left the Medal of Honor ceremony early to “minimize his impact” on other attendees despite Biden removing his mask and coming in close contact with others.

If Biden was concerned about COVID exposure, why did he remove his mask in the first place to deliver his speech.
And why didn’t he put it back on before bolting from the room?
Joe Biden has been testing for COVID almost constantly since Jill Biden tested positive on Monday, and he remains negative.
