Forget The $2,000 Stimulus, Biden Now Wants To Send Face Masks To Every American

The day after Press Secretary Jen Psaki confirmed that neither Joe Biden’s White House nor the Democrat controlled Congress intend to make good on their promise to send every American a $2,000 stimulus, the President now wants to send every American a face mask.

After it apparently became too difficult to send a $2,000 check or cash deposit to every American, the Biden administration is now working on the “logistics” of sending a free face mask to every American instead.

NBC News reported that, “The Biden White House is considering sending masks directly to American households, according to three people familiar with the discussions, an action the Trump administration explored but scrapped.”

Indeed, “The Covid-19 Response Team is evaluating the logistics of mailing out millions of face coverings,” and the move comes “as Biden continues to urge Americans to use masks as a primary defense against the spread of the coronavirus.”

Biden, of course, made it a federal crime not to wear a face mask while on federal property during his first hours in the Oval Office. Biden then proceeded to break his own executive order law when he and his entire family refused to wear face masks during parts of the inauguration events. NBC News conveniently leaves this out of their article.
