Melania Trump Violates Children’s Hospital COVID-19 Policy by Taking Off Mask

First Lady Melania Trump is getting slammed for taking off her mask while reading to children during her annual Christmas visit to the Children’s National Hospital. She wore a mask when she arrived, but removed it when she sat down. The hospital's policy requires everyone must wear a mask at all times. The White House cited CDC guidelines that say a mask is not required when giving a speech. The White House has often ignored CDC guidance, including when holding packed, maskless holiday parties.
