Only hours after signing an executive order making it mandatory to wear masks on federal property, President Joe Biden visited the Lincoln Memorial and did not wear a mask.
Does Joe Biden’s new executive order mandating masks on federal property not apply to Joe Biden while he’s on federal property?

Because here he is at the Lincoln Memorial with no mask just hours after signing it.

Following the inauguration on Wednesday, President Biden visited the memorial with his family. The First Lady was wearing a mask but the younger Biden children were not. While unmasked, the President was seen and photographed speaking to reporters, all of whom were wearing masks, while standing only several feet away.
Wearing masks isn't a partisan issue — it's a patriotic act that can save countless lives. That's why I signed an executive order today issuing a mask mandate on federal property. It's time to mask up, America.

Pundits on social media were quick to point out the hypocrisy of creating such a mandate and not abiding by it only hours later, especially in light of Biden's past comments on the necessity of wearing masks claiming it would save "more than 50,000 lives."
I know masks have become a partisan issue — but it’s a patriotic act. Experts say wearing a mask from now until April will save more than 50,000 lives.
