President Biden coughed into his hand following a Monday speech in New Jersey and proceeded to use it to shake hands with members of the public, all while not wearing a mask.
The incident comes less than a week after Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tested positive for COVID-19 just days following an event with the president.
Last Tuesday, a fully vaccinated Mayorkas tested positive for COVID-19 as part of routine pre-travel protocols.

Three days earlier, Mayorkas and Biden had attended the 40th Annual National Peace Officers' Memorial Service at the U.S. Capitol alongside Biden, where they were photographed just feet apart without masks.
BIDENS CAUGHT VIOLATING DC MASK MANDATE AT POSH GEORGETOWN RESTAURANT
"Secretary Mayorkas is experiencing only mild congestion; he is fully vaccinated and will isolate and work at home per CDC protocols and medical advice," DHS spokesperson Marsha Espinosa said at the time.
Earlier this month, the president and first lady stoked controversy when they were caught walking without a mask through a ritzy Italian seafood restaurant in Washington, D.C., where all individuals over age 2 are required to wear a mask indoors, regardless of vaccination status
While flanked by masked Secret Service agents, the maskless Bidens walked through Fiola Mare in Georgetown.

White House press secretary Jen Psaki brushed off a question about the incident, saying people should pay attention to the president's policies and "not overly focus on moments in time."
The White House did not respond to Fox News' request for comment in time for publication.

The man cannot do more than one thing at a time. Especially if he has to think.
Just look the other way... don't pay any attention to the "man behind the curtain."
Welcome back.
For today... I can't make any promises for the future.
I know the feeling.
You make NT a better place
That's for sure.
Aw... you guys are going to make me blush.
I feel so special.

You know the many reasons I don't though.
The man repeatedly proves he does not give a rat's behind about the health and well being of the American public!
Trump is neither president nor the subject of the article, Biden is. Do try to stay on topic.
I know.
This is today's news - when vaccinated government employees must wear a mask, when airplane passengers must wear a mask, we find that the rule excepts Jill.
Whoa there! She's a professor of English at a community college. Last I heard they are exempt!
Do as they say, not as they do!
Democrat politicians and deep state civil masters are always exempt from the rules they apply to their subjects and their servants.
Cool. So Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas tested positive for COVID-19 a week ago. He had contact with Biden and now Biden is coughing into his hand and shaking hands with others. hmmm
Well, yeah. I mean, it's okay when they do it.
Sure seems that way.
time to invite the GOPer leadership to a face to face meeting in the oval office...
Whiners gotta whine.
I think Biden made a mistake. Today is a new day.
remember how many people in the Trump white house came down with covid? They even had a fucking superspreader in the White House rose garden for gods sake.
Rose Garden COVID 'superspreader' at White House drew hundreds
Jan 28, 2021 · More than 200 people attended the Sept. 26 event at the White House Rose Garden where President Donald Trump announced his nomination of Amy Coney …
But the 2020 protests/riots weren't superspeader events! /S
Theres a photo of the Rose Garden event with all the people who came down with covid shortly afterwards circled . Its pretty funny. No one was wearing a mask . And they were all shaking hands and hugging.
It's never funny John....Colin Powell died from it.
The illness isnt funny, the idea that they would have a party in the middle of a pandemic, at the White House, with ZERO precautions taken , is.
What is sad is that you can never defend Biden.
Trump is no longer President. You wanted anything in place of him and now we have it. How do you defend a man who wants everyone to take precautions but he doesn't?
I think Joe Biden made a momentary mistake.
He's been making them for 50 years now.
The day he said I'm running...
Certainly one among many since January 2021, that's for sure.
Colin Powell died from complications of multiple myeloma and Parkinsons meds which lowered his immune responses
to all diseases.
This particular vaccine is ineffective against cancer.
Powell reportedly passed away due to complications from Covid-19.
The same thing that people here got giddy about when it happened to those they didn't like!
Due to complications of cancer of the blood and Parkinson's medications, then Covid.
Publish all of the UK trash links you like, doesn't change the facts.
He was a dead man walking, most likely exposed to Agent Orange as well,
multiple myeloma is incurable, particularly at his age.
The facts are the facts. (Btw a year ago anyone with covid who died was listed as dying from covid.)
UK trash
The only trash I know is the New York Times and Washington Post.
Total lie.
I was the executor for two people who died of COVID at home in 2020.
One in NC and the other in AZ.
Both coroners insisted testing kits were too rare to waste on the deceased.
In spite of one having been in a Covid ward the month before, he was listed as natural causes
with pneumonia.
The other was listed as natural causes, probable heart attack, nothing about the COVID he had for 2 weeks
I personally believe that the numbers are vastly unreported because of this.
Prove it
To support your statement
and to support what I know from first hand experience.
Joe Biden is a momentary mistake. Unfortunately that mistake will last 3 more years. Assuming the Republicans don't grow a pair and impeach Biden and Harris.
A majority of more than, or close to 8 million more people felt that Mr. Trump
was a big enough mistake that a box of spaghetti was preferable.
No mistake. A Dem Administration will try to clean up after an R again,
but it's no where near as bad as what Bush left Obama, that's for sure.
Will any thing ever be acomplished with the filibuster and a 50/50 split,
probably not, but that is preferable as to where we ended up after 4 years of 45.
Let them try to impeach anyone, they have already made the process a sham.
They have already threatened or officially asked to impeach Biden and Fauci multiple times.
Further cheapening the process.
Good luck with that
We will be very lucky if we can survive until we can get a real human being to become our President again. The weekend at Bernie’s version is a clear and present danger to we the people and our individual rights, economic freedom, and religious liberty.
Which one? The going maskless on more than one occasion where that was the policy, or the standing right next to a maskless Mayorkas just days before Mayorkas tested positive for Covid, or the coughing into his hand maskless and then shaking the hands of others?
What was Pelosi's excuse for violating a policy she supported? What was Newsom's excuse for violating the very policies he forced others to follow? What was Cuomo's excuse for being caught violating his own policies several times? Feinstein, Bowser, Lightfoot all hardliners on forced mask policies, distancing, closing indoor venues, shutting down select restaurants and businesses, and staying away from friends and anyone not immediate family, all caught violating those policies. What was the excuse for allowing, even encouraging, huge rallys and riots both indoors and outdoors during the peak of Covid and then turning around and excoriating others for doing the same thing but without the violence, and screaming and expelling of vapors on others through or without masks? Momentary mistakes all?
Here's the thing, at least those like Trump who truly believed that masks were ineffective and that the vaccination and/or anti-bodies would protect them and those around them with some effort at distancing (or outdoors) were simply misled and/or misunderstood the science as it developed. Ignorance was truly their excuse, but at least they did not preach or force one thing on others and then do the opposite.
These Democrats were either as ignorant as Trump about the science, or they knew the science but felt that the policies they claim to have based on it didn't apply to them, only to the rest of the riff raff who's lives and livelihoods they most impacted. That sort of hypocrisy is worse than ignorance, sets a terrible example for both their admirers and detractors, and results in the same sort of exposure to others to this disease. I see such hypocrisy in many of the policies and positions of democratic politicians (especially in the financial realm), and it makes it difficult for me to take them seriously. Not that republicans are much better, but at least it isn't as glaring, IMHO.
I notice you don't call out the Biden administration for similar activity. Wonder why.
Yes, of course you do.
So to you that makes it OK for Brando, oops I mean Biden to do it
The whataboutism is strong with that person...
And we continue to have the super spreader event at the border..
And a deliberate one at that…
So, as angry as you are about that, even though a few weeks are needed front to back, today's just a new fucking day when Biden does it.
Biden is a typical Democrat, make a whole bunch of restrictive rules; but then don't follow any of them.
Governor Whitless of Michigan is another prime example of "Do as I say; not as I do".
There are countless Democrats that can't seem to follow their own Covid 19 edicts. The media generally just gives them a free pass; or allows them to make a lame apology.
Democrats are simply bad for America.
Democrat Mayor of San Francisco London Breed danced and partied maskless at a crowded night club on September 17th of this year and then tried to make a joke out of it. Says she did not violate rules.
