At the White House yesterday afternoon, President Biden awarded the Medal of Honor to Army helicopter pilot Larry Taylor, who risked his life to rescue soldiers in Vietnam in 1968.
The ceremony took a turn for the awkward, however, after Biden presented the medal to Taylor and then left the room before the conclusion of the event. Watch:
Joe Biden just BOLTED out of the room immediately after awarding the Medal of Honor to Army Captain Larry Taylor.
The ceremony continued on for several minutes afterwards.

Some of the people there looked a little confused when Biden decided to leave the room.
Time to go on vacation again?

We should give Biden a break, though, because he’s homeless, or something.
Someone might have asked a question.

And then there’s the masking issue. What Karine Jean-Pierre said earlier in the day vs. Biden later in the afternoon:
KJP TODAY: Biden “will be masking while indoors and around people.”

Biden was wearing a mask while standing by himself and then took it off before closely approaching the Medal of Honor recipient. Ah, science!
