Sundown Joe Biden: Now I Will Not Issue a National Mask Mandate. Forget What I Previously Said. I Already Did!

A trembling, palsied hand at the till.

Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden walked back his own call for a national mask mandate, saying he wouldn't issue any binding orders because he believes it would be unconstitutional.

The former vice president was questioned by AZFamily' "Politics Unplugged" Sunday about his repeated pledges to use the powers of the presidency to force Americans to wear masks when he got candid about the efficacy of a mandate.

Asked to respond to the governors who had appreciated President Trump's more targeted coronavirus approach, which gave more authority to the states, Biden said, “Well, I hope you could trust the governors.

"But here's the deal, the federal government -- there's a constitutional issue whether federal government could issue such a mandate. I don't think constitutionally they could, so I wouldn't issue a mandate."

So, what would he do?

Well prepare yourselves for a shock: He would indulge in a trivial, symbolic action while also Virtue Signalling "Orange Man Bad:"

Given the legal challenges, Biden said, he would "plead with" people to wear a mask, adding, "I'd set an example."

So Biden is just going to wear a mask so as to garner praise from leftwing media hypocrites who preach about mask use while conspicuously not wearing masks themselves.

Got it.
