President Biden’s climate czar, John Kerry, on Wednesday sparked outrage when he was reportedly masked in an American Airlines flight to Washington DC.
The Tennessee Star, a conservative news website, Published a photo On Wednesday, a bare-faced Kerry apparently flew first class from Boston to DC.
The airline requires all passengers to wear masks on board, which is in accordance with the instructions of the CDC and the TSA and Biden. 21 Executive Order mandates face covering during interstate travel.
“According to US government instructions, individuals who refuse to wear masks may be denied boarding, removed from aircraft or subject to penalties under federal law, as well as American Future travel may be banned with “Airline Said in a statement Last month.
Although travelers are generally allowed to remove masks for eating or drinking, it does not appear that the former foreign minister, now the US special presidential envoy for the climate, had any food or beverage in the photo. A flight from Boston to DC is about an hour and a half long.
Many on Twitter called out Kerry, with some traditionalists charging the incident a case of liberal hypocrisy around wearing a mask.
“Spotted: Liberal heresy and Biden Admin official @JohnKerry violated @Jobidan’s federal mask mandate. Note: His mask is off and he is not eating or drinking. Will he be fined for breaking the law and regular citizens. Like @AmericanAir will be banned from flying? “” First son Donald Trump Jr. Wrote on twitter.
An American Airlines spokesperson issued a statement saying, “Our aircraft require masks, and we are looking into this.”
The White House did not immediately return a request for comment.
