Biden Caught Red Handed Breaking DC COVID Restrictions

Joe and Jill Biden dined out in Washington DC on Saturday night for the first time since moving to the White House - and immediately broke the city's mask mandate.

The president and first lady were seen at Fiola Mare, a seafood restaurant popular with the political set in the Georgetown area of the city.

"Per CDC guidance and DC Mayor Muriel Bowser's executive order, all individuals over age 2 are required to wear a mask indoors, regardless of vaccination status," the restaurant announces on its website.

"Masks must be always worn while in our restaurants, except while eating and drinking."

Though, the 78-year-old and his wife were both maskless as they walked through the restaurant, with their Secret Service detail wearing black face masks.

The president was carrying his face mask yet not wearing it, notwithstanding vocally pushing for people to wear them as often as possible.

Despite being fully vaccinated, President Biden has further frequently donned his own mask in what some critics have branded political theater.
