Former Vice President Joe Biden told NBC Nightly News that Americans have a patriotic responsibility to wear a face covering — also know as a face burka.
“It’s a patriotic responsibility to wear a mask, to socially distance,” Biden said.
The man who could be the next president said both items are “critical pieces to dealing with bringing down this virus in a more manageable place.”
“I hope that we’re going to be able to have a united voice on the need to mask, socially distance, testing and tracing. They’re critical, critical pieces to dealing with bringing down this virus in a more manageable place. The words of a president matter. And I think it’s critically important, I think it’s a patriotic responsibility to wear a mask, to socially distance,” Biden said.
Biden believes that sacrificing civil liberties and bending a knee to the federal government is patriotism.
