White House deflects when confronted with Biden's mask hypocrisy: 'We've got to put this all in context'

White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre on Wednesday deflected questions on President Biden’s flagrant violation of COVID-19 protocols at a Medal of Honor ceremony. 

The CDC guidelines that the White House said Biden would observe after first lady Jill Biden tested positive for the coronavirus state those exposed to COVID-19 must wear a mask when indoors and around other people. But Biden removed his mask to deliver remarks at the ceremony for retired Army Capt. Larry Taylor in the White House East Room on Tuesday — and he never put it back on. 

Pressed by reporters, Jean-Pierre acknowledged Biden did not have his mask on and explained he left the ceremony early to limit his contact with those in attendance. 

BIDEN RIPPED FOR LEAVING MEDAL OF HONOR CEREMONY EARLY: ‘ABHORRENT’

“The president took off his mask, as I said he would, to deliver incredibly powerful remarks about this captain, Captain Taylor, and what he did in service to our nation,” Jean-Pierre said Wednesday. “And for a brief time afterwards, he also didn’t have his mask on.” 

Social media users slammed Biden after it appeared he “bolted out of the room” and disrespected Taylor, who had just received the nation’s highest honor. But the White House said Biden’s rapid exit was planned.

BIDEN’S RETURN TO INDOOR MASKING DRAWS SCORN ONLINE: ‘SUCH NONSENSE FEARMONGERING’

“He left as planned, as it was planned,” Jean-Pierre told reporters. “He left when there was a pause in the program in order to minimize his close contact with attendees who are about to participate in a reception.” 

Jean-Pierre emphasized that Biden’s mask mishap and departure from the ceremony needed to be placed into “context.” She pointed to Biden’s negative COVID tests this week and said “we are in a different phase” of COVID now that the pandemic is officially over.

BIDEN TO MASK UP INDOORS AGAIN AFTER NEGATIVE COVID TEST

“We’ve got to put this all in context,” she said. “We planned for the president to leave when there was a pause in the program so that it would minimize him being in the room. He did just that. And I also would want to add that before the event started, the president spent a good amount of time with the captain, Captain Taylor and his family. And everybody was masked because he wanted to spend that quality, important time.” 

Asked if the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention should update its year-old guidance on COVID-19 protocols, Jean-Pierre punted the question to the CDC. 

“That is not for me to speak to, it truly isn’t,” she said. “That is something the CDC decides on. They are the experts.” 

Alex Murdaugh's lawyers slam court clerk's 'illegal' behavior as they push for new trial

An attorney for convicted killer Alex Murdaugh called South Carolina court clerk Rebecca Hill’s conduct during his murder trial “highly improper” and “frankly, illegal,” according to a new interview.

Lawyers Dick Harpootlian and Jim Griffin sat down Wednesday with Craig Melvin of the “Today” show less than 24 hours after dropping a bombshell motion demanding a new trial based on allegations of jury tampering. 

“Any time there’s outside influence in the sanctity of the jury room, it is improper,” Griffin said. 

The defense team alleges Hill had inappropriate, private chats with the jury foreperson and presented false information to the judge to get a juror she thought was sympathetic to Murdaugh kicked off the panel.

ALEX MURDAUGH SEEKS NEW TRIAL, ALLEGES JURY TAMPERING IN BOMBSHELL MOTION

They also allege she discussed Murdaugh’s guilt with jurors and tried to coerce a conviction so she could secure a book deal.

The Colleton County clerk, an elected official, published a memoir Aug. 1 about her role in the case, “Behind the Doors of Justice: The Murdaugh Murders.” 

BUSTER MURDAUGH SAYS HIS FATHER ALEX HAS CHARACTERISTICS OF A PSYCHOPATH, BUT MAINTAINS HIS DAD IS INNOCENT

Murdaugh, 55, was sentenced to two life terms in prison in March for fatally shooting his wife, Maggie Murdaugh, and his son, Paul Murdaugh, in June 2021.

The attorneys said Hill’s conduct was so egregious Murdaugh deserves another shot in the courtroom even if the verdict had been the same without her alleged meddling.

“The legal question is not whether the outcome of the trial would have been different. The question is whether the information provided to the jury outside the confines of the courtroom is prejudicial,” Griffin told Melvin. 

“You can never go back and rewind the clock or put the toothpaste back in the tube. That’s a game we can’t play. But what we do know is the conduct the jurors have reported to us is highly improper and, frankly, illegal,” he added.

ALEX MURDAUGH: TIMELINE OF ONCE-POWERFUL SOUTH CAROLINA LAWYER’S SPECTACULAR DOWNFALL

Hill, 55, stood in the Colleton County Courthouse March 2 and read the guilty verdict, which took the panel less than three hours to reach.

Many spectators were stunned by the swiftness of the decision, especially after a six-week trial. But the motion argues that Hill hurried the deliberations by denying the six smokers on the panel smoke breaks and threatening to send them to a hotel if they didn’t wrap up that night. 

Griffin and Harpootlian said at a press conference Tuesday the filing is based on new evidence, including interviews with two jurors who were so annoyed by Hill’s grandstanding and new book that they decided to speak to Murdaugh’s legal team.

Murdaugh has insisted he’s innocent and has the backing of his surviving son, Buster Murdaugh, who gave an exclusive interview to Martha MacCallum on Fox Nation’s docuseries “The Fall of the House of Murdaugh.”

The disgraced attorney from a prominent legal family has admitted stealing more than $9 million from his former law firm and clients to fuel an opioid addiction.

“A fraudulent lawyer does not equate to a murderer, and he did not murder his wife and son,” Griffin told Melvin.
