The answer was in response to Trump's implied criticism of Biden on Twitter.
Responding to a question regarding President Trump's implied criticism of Vice President Joe Biden wearing a mask while out laying a wreath at a veterans park for Memorial Day, press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said it's"peculiar" he doesn't wear one in his home.... [+]The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends Americans wear face masks while out in public, not when at home, and additionally, some states like Delaware require it by law.
"The president's excited to see that Joe emerged from the basement," McEnany said when asked about the tweet."It is a bit peculiar though that in his basement right next to his wife he's not wearing a mask but he's wearing one outdoors when he's socially distancing so I think that there was a discrepancy there."
When Jeff Mason of Reuters informed her that the recommendations for a face mask is in reference to public spaces, McEnany said,"It's recommended but not required so it's the personal choice of the individual but it didn't strike him as a very data-driven decision."
