Trump operatives get busted for using pre-pandemic 2019 photo to smear Biden as a mask hypocrite

November 2, 2020
By Brad Reed



Supporters of President Donald Trump are using a photograph taken in 2019 to accuse Joe Biden of hypocrisy when it comes to wearing face masks.

The photo, which was taken before the pandemic even started, shows a mask-free Biden on an airplane with traveling press secretary Remi Yamamoto.

The photo was spread by former Trump administration official Richard Grenell and then amplified by right-wing talk show host Mark Levin.

“Washington D.C. phony!” Grenell wrote on Twitter. “Joe Biden doesn’t wear a mask on a plane — but wears one OUTSIDE?”

First, the orange one makes fun of Biden for "following the science"

Then Grenell tries to show Biden NOT following the science

These republicans just don't make any logical sense. Oh wait ...
