'Real men wear face masks': LA mayor ribs Trump for not wearing a mask in public

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti condemned President Trump for not wearing a face mask in public as many states and cities make masks mandatory.

Trump has yet to wear a face mask in front of reporters and opted not to wear one during a press gaggle while in Michigan, where Democratic Gov. Gretchen Whitmer has made them mandatory. Prior to Trump's first public appearance on Thursday, Garcetti jabbed Trump for not wearing masks during an interview on MSNBC.

"Simply put, he’s our commander in chief. I say real men wear face masks when they’re going to be with other people in public," Garcetti said. "It’s our gateway to increasing freedom and more economic activity and the greater opening up."

"I think modeling that is something so important for all of our leaders, and any men who don’t want to wear face masks, we've got to get over ourselves, and just do it," Garcetti added.
