Joe Biden finally finds copy of Constitution on mask mandates

Add this to the list of Reasons Not To Vote For Joe Biden: He no longer thinks a national mask mandate would be a good idea. It’s not that he thinks national mask mandates are wrong. It’s that he ever thought national mask mandates could ever fly in the first place.

It’s that it took him oh-so-long to see the light on this — on what should actually be a Constitution No-Duh.

Why’d it take the former vice president so long to reach this (obvious) conclusion?

When Biden said in mid-August that “every single American should be wearing a mask when they’re outside” and that in his eyes, in his America, he’d “institute a mask mandate nationwide starting immediately,” Sen. Kamala Harris, his running mate, didn’t exactly step in and put a stop to the ridiculous call.

When Biden said a few days later at the Democratic National Convention that in his White House, “we’ll have a national mandate to wear a mask — not as a burden, but to protect each other,” Harris didn’t exactly say, hold the phone, let’s look at the Constitution.
