ABC News Reporter's Question About Biden's Coronavirus Mask Does Not Go Well

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

ABC News senior national correspondent Terry Moran faced fierce blowback on Twitter late Monday for asking this question about former Vice President Joe Biden:

Biden, the presumptive Democratic 2020 nominee, wore a face mask while laying a wreath at Delaware Memorial Bridge Veterans Memorial Park on Memorial Day.

Critics turned the tables on Moran, suggesting it was a bad look for him to be posing such a question. Many people noted how Biden was adhering to Delaware’s state rules of wearing a mask in public — unlike President Donald Trump, who has repeatedly refused to wear a mask.

One Twitter user, author Don Winslow, described Moran’s question as “staggeringly stupid.”

“It’s not a fashion accessory. It literally saves lives,” Winslow tweeted.

1. An aptly named "reporter" (n/t)

3. I think Mr. Moran was trying to be funny, commenting on Trump's refusal to wear....

...a mask because it didn't look good and on the fact that Joe Biden will wear a mask when he is President next year. I think "fierce blowback" and calling it "staggeringly stupid" is a good illustration of why I don't read or use twitter.

4. Moran's lack of

journalistic skills is now out in the open. He has always been a sideswiper in his Reporting stile. All he needs is a Trump/Pence sign hanging around his neck.

5. Whatever. I honestly don't care. I'm voting for Biden.

7. the ABC hack should be fired. This shows a lack of credibility towards anything else

8. Actually, I think he looks pretty damn sharp!

But even better, he’s smart, articulate, honest, well-intentioned, and believes in our democracy.

11. Am disappointed in MORAN. He's no ENGEL but has seemed O.K. over the many years.

I guess he now can claim first hand experience with "misspeaking"!1

13. He looks pretty good to me. He almost makes the mask sexy.

Noon on January 21, President Biden.
