“I totally agree with Joe Biden. As long as we’re faced with this crisis, masks should be mandatory,” Pelosi said Friday on NPR’s “All Things Considered,” referring to the former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee’s remarks that he would require the use of masks in public if he’s elected president.

“In fact, the reason the [Centers for Disease Control and Prevention] hasn’t made it mandatory is because they don’t want to embarrass the president, or insult the president, whatever it is,” she continued…

“And not wearing a mask himself as an example to the country? How cowardly is that?” she said. “It’s not about protecting yourself, it’s about protecting others.”
