WH Press Sec.: It's a bit peculiar that he doesn't wear a mask in his basement, but he wears one out

White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany dodged a question from Jeff Mason of Reuters about President Trump retweeting criticism of Joe Biden for wearing a face mask in public.

MASON: President Trump retweeted a criticism of Joe Biden wearing a mask. Why would he do that?

McENANY: It’s a bit peculiar that he doesn’t wear a mask in his basement, but he wears one outdoors.

MASON: Isn’t that the guidance though?

McENANY: It’s recommended but not required.

"It’s a bit peculiar that he doesn’t wear a mask in his basement, but he wears one outdoors." JFC, you don't wear a mask in your basement because there aren't any people in your basement that you could give the virus to or get it from! You do wear a mask outside because that's where the freakin' people are. The people you could get the virus from or give it to. The reason there are masks in the first place, Kayleigh McInane.

Don't watch her. Just listening to her will kill your brain cells.

I mean, seriously, that's Donald Trump-level of dumbness. Does she actually understand what masks are for? Or does she just feel that talking complete nonsense is enough to keep her job, and it's preferable to thinking, or answering a question, or actually doing anything to help the country?

They think you have to wear them all the time, even when you're at home in your basement. That would be too much effort, so why bother wearing them at all.

they find new ways. I actually thought it's not possible to be more dishonest and dumber than the Huckster but she does it with ease.
But it's kind of telling that they have no clue about when to wear masks.

You wear clothes hosting a lie-a-thon, but not when you're taking a shower. It's exactly as peculiar as that.
