"This might help explain why Trump doesn’t like to wear a mask in public. Biden today," Hume wrote alongside a photo of Biden wearing a black cloth face mask and aviator sunglasses. During Tuesday's press briefing, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany addressed Biden's mask, saying, "It is a bit peculiar, though, that in his basement, right next to his wife, he's not wearing a mask. But he's wearing one outdoors when he's socially distant. So I think that there was a discrepancy there."
