post-holiday weekend tuesday. thank you for being here with us. on behalf of all of my colleagues at the networks of nbc news, good night from our temporary field headquarters. ♪ fact-checking the president after long-standing criticism be his tweets, a reader is telling the readers to check facts and mocking the vice president for use of his face mask on memorial day. and protests erupting in minu minneapolis, the death of george floyd, telling police officers he could not breathe while he was being detained. good morning, everybody. it is wednesday, may 27th.

and i'm yasmin vossoughian. we do have a lot to cover this morning. in response to the criticism that twitter should hold the president accountable for violating its terms of service, the company for the first time yesterday adding a fact check label to a pair of president trump's tweets. the tweets which trump rails against mail-in voting amid the coronavirus pandemic now include links that we get the facts about mail-in ballots. that directs users to a twitter article titled trump makes unsubstantial claim that mail-in ballots will lead to voter fraud. along with what you need to know about the section and aggregated tweet tweet tweets. and trump lashed out at the company in a compare of tweets

yesterday accusing twitter of interfering in the 2020 election and stifling free speech. and in a statement yesterday, campaign manager brad parsecal, we always knew the silicon valley would pull out all of the stops to obstruct and enter near with president trump getting his message through to voters. the president continued to stress to pull the republican national committee from north carolina, by going as far as saying governor cooper acting suspiciously. >> we have a governor that doesn't want to open up the state, and we have a date in august, end of august. and we have to know before we

spend millions and millions of dollars on an arena, to make it magnificent for the convention. and we have tremendous -- i mean, economic development consequences are tremendous for the state. we have to know that when the people come down they're going to have the doors open. now, if the governor can't tell us very soon, unfortunately, we'll have no choice. this has nothing to do with us, this is between the governor and north carolina. the people of north carolina. but the people want it, and we'll have to see whether or not the governor. now, he's a democrat, a lot of the democrats for political reasons don't want to open up their states. we'll see if that works. i'd love to have it in north carolina, that is why we chose it, charlotte. but we're going to see. we're going to see. in the end, we need a fast decision by the governor. he's been acting very, very slowly and very suspiciously. >> i will say that it's okay for political conventions to be

political. but pandemic response cannot be. already, we've been in talks with the rnc about the kind of convention that they would need to run and the kind of options that we need on the table. we're talking about something that's going to happen three months from now. and we don't know what our situation is going to be regarding covid-19 in north carolina. >> so, with the convention site up in the air, a lot of states led by republican governors with more lax virus restrictions are now jockeying to host the 50,000-person event. georgia governor brian kemp started the bidding by saying his state would host the republican national committee. and then the florida governor ron desantis saying the sunshine

state would love to host as theft they can with the requirements. let's go to reporter for politico daniel lipmann. daniel, good morning to you. it's been quite a 24 hours or so. a lot has happened. but i want to talk about what's happened with twitter with regards to fact-checking some of the president's tweets. i can't believe we're here. i'm still surprised every day that there's a president consistently lying like president trump is and now has to be fact-checked on twitter. do you think this is actually going to impact anything that this president is saying moving forward, especially when you consider the response that we've gotten both from him and his campaign manager. >> i don't think it's going to change how he tweets. i don't think he cares that's a

fact-check, obviously, it's a little embarrassing that will be next to his tweets. we should remember after he was tweeting against the conspiracy those are about an msnbc most joe scarborough and the widower of the person who died from an accident had to write to twitter's jack dorsey and say, you can at least take these down. twitter refused to do that. and so they started putting these fact-check next to some of trump's tweets. it will be interesting how many they actually do. because there's a lot of them that could use a fact-check. you can't really go against everyone. >> and the president continued to push these conspiracy theories yesterday. he was asked about it at the white house yesterday, if he had read the letter from the widower. he said, yeah, i read it. i'm sure they want to get to the

bottom of it. as if he didn't necessarily care as to the content of that letter and the appeal that was being made there. daniel, let's talk about the republican national convention here is now very much up in the air. republicans want to get 50,000 people or so into north carolina. you have the governor there being cautious about the guidelines that are in place and where we'll be with this pandemic at that point which is three months from now. how do you think this is going to impact the 2020 elections? >> well, i think once they ha--e wants to have it in a swing state that would make it harder for georgia to get it. although georgia is looking pretty close for the trump/biden head-to-head competition. so almost every state will count as a swing state. there's a point saying utah was only a few points ahead.

obviously, they need to make it soon because there's a lot of logistics. it's interesting to say whether democrats say anything in person in terms of the convention. but if you're one of those governors, even if you want the jobs and you want the status of a convention, you also don't want an outbreak that arises from that. so, in some of the statements, you hear ron desantis say safely have the convention. so, that means, of course, they'll have to push back on trump's desire to just business as normal -- as usual, a four-day big party without as much social distancing requirements. >> yeah, you don't want an outbreak inside your state. you also don't want to be the cause of an outbreak in states across the country as thousands and thousands of people obviously pour into that state for that convention. and then subsequently go back home to their respective states. daniel lipmann, thank you so much. stay close.

i'll talk to you in just a little bit, my friend. i want to get now to a deadly incident in minneapolis. four police officers have been fired and a state investigation is under way following the death of george floyd, a black man who died monday night. video shows floyd being pinned to the ground by a white officer kneeling on his neck for about eight minutes. in the video, floyd could be heard begging for help saying, quote, i cannot breathe. a warning now for viewers, this video is graphic. >> i can't breathe. please, the knee on my neck, i can't breathe. >> get up and get in the car, man. >> i will. i can't move. >> a bystander can be heard saying his nose is bleeding and then after several minutes floyd

stopped moving. he was later pronounced dead at a local hospital. police initially said they had arrived for a forgery in progress and that floyd had resisted officers. less than 24 hours after that incident, the minneapolis police tweeted the firing of the officers was the right call. and saying he and his team will seek justice for floyd's death. the death of floyd sparked invite protests yesterday. demonstrators were met by officers in riot gear. and tear gas was used. protesters are demanding that the officers be arrested. and the case is drawing comparisons to the 2014 death of eric garner. meanwhile, reaction is continuing to pour in from former vice president joe biden taking to twitter saying george floyd deserves better. and his family deserves justice.

his life mattered. still ahead, house speaker nancy pelosi is facing a new legal challenge. she's being sued by house republicans who want to put a stop to proxy voting amidst this pandemic. also what joe biden is saying about his decision to wear a mask on memorial day and president trump's decision to goal without it. those stories and, of course, a check of your weather when we come back. for business as usual. or is it?

welcome back, everybody. republican leaders are suing house speaker nancy pelosi to stop the use of a proxy voting system established to keep members safe from the resurge ent covid-19 in the capitol area. republicans along with four constituents asked a federal judge with the voting by

congress as unconstitutional. saying republicans want the practice ended immediately arguing remote voting dilutes members' votes. each individual member of congress has had their vote unconstitutional diluted by this proxy vote. and speaker pelosi called it a, quote, sad stunt. proxy voting was passing along party lines earlier this month. the house will use it for the first time this afternoon, with almost 60 democrats planning to vote remotely. joining me now msnbc legal analyst danny cevallos. great to so you, danny, on this wednesday morning. i want to start with how does the proxy procedure work? >> under the rules, is this not

a case where members will actually vote however they want to on behalf of absent members. representative mccarthy tweeted last night that these rules would allow as few as 20 representatives to control the votes of 220 members. and that use of the word "control" is maybe a little inaccurate. because what really is happening, is under the rules, the present member must vote exactly according to the instructions of the absent member. it could be said that they're acting as a robot for the absent member. they don't get to make decisions on their behalf. theoretically, they could go rogue and vote however they like on behalf of that absent member. but the rules as adopted require the member to vote as a proxy, a true proxy, really communicating as a vessel the vote of the absent member. >> so republicans and mccarthy

calling this unconstitutional. speaker pelosi had this to say. the house's position that remote voting during a proxy during a pandemic is supported by expert legal analysis. further, the supreme court made clear over a century ago that the constitution empowers each chamber of congress to set its own procedural rules. so, give me your, danny, expert legal analysis, as you always do. is this in line with the constitution? can the house set its own rules? >> speaker pelosi is raising two very important constitutional issues. the first one is that technology always outpaces the law so that when the framer, came up with words like meet to vote they never imagined that things like skype or zoom would ever exist. so the real question in modern

times does meet or assembling still mean you have to do it in person? or is it acceptable to do it by zoom or skype or proxy voting or some way else? a federal court, a member of the judicial branch will not interfere in something that the constitution has reserved just to one other branch. so something like internal voting for congress, or even within the executive branch, decisionmaking, a federal court may decide, well, we were never supposed to interfere with that. if we did, it would violate separation of powers. that is wholly theirs to determine. i think it may be a reason that the federal court declines to even hear this lawsuit. >> danny cevallos, my friend, great to see you on this wednesday morning. still ahead, everybody, the president claimed last month that he had total authority to order states to reopen the economy. now, he's saying the same about

places of worship. we're going to show you those new comment, coming up next. hey joshie... wrinkles send the wrong message. help prevent them before they start with downy wrinkleguard.

they use stamps.com all the services of the post office only cheaper get a 4-week trial plus postage and a digital scale go to stamps.com/tv and never go to the post office again.

welcome back, everybody. as he pushes to reopen more and more of the country, the president said once again yesterday that he can, quote, absolutely overrule state governors on the question of reopening churches and other places of worship. >> unfriday, yon front, you ann you wants governors to open churches and synagogues and mosques. you said you would overrule them. can you explain what authority you had in mind when you said you would do that? >> i can absolutely do it if i want to. because it's starting to open up. we want our churches, synagogues, morsques. we want them open as soon as possible. i can tell you, i know a lot of

pastors, im achimams, we need p leading us in faith. if i have to i'll override any governor if they want to play games. if they want to play games, that's okay but we will win. we have many different ways we can override them and if i have to, i will do that. >> i just want to remind folks here back in april, the president basically said the exact same thing when it came to opening upstates, that he could absolutely override the authority of governors when it comes to decisionmaking and the time lines for opening upstates. and once again, weeks later, he backtracked on that saying he was going to leave it up to the governors' discretion as to when they would be opening up states. with that, let's switch gears a bit and bring in msnbc meteorologist bill karins.

good morning, bill. >> good morning to you, yasmin. we've all been to florida. at least a lot of us have been to florida and you get the tropical downpours but yesterday was not the normal downpour. what happened in miami, it poured 5:00 to 7:00 p.m. 7 inches of rain. even the sandy soil of florida couldn't deal with that much rainfall. everywhere, streets looked like this. it was just flooded. there was one to two feet of water in numerous locations. we had vehicles stalled out, people needed to exit those vehicles. thankfully, because of the sandy soil, people were able to get where they needed to go. it was hairy. even by south florida standards it was ridiculous. now, by the way, wee looking at 19 inches of rain in miami this month. 19 inches, that's wild. let's get to the forecast. the rainfall responsible for that was his tropical entity now heading up towards south carolina. it's beginning to pour in

charltocheryl charleston. it has a 30% chance of turning into a tropical depression. it's going to be a soggy time today, areas of georgetown, wilmington. and heavy rain from charlotte to winston-salem. and once it gets into the mountains there of virginia, especially in the roanoke area, that's where we could have problems with flash flooding. locally, about 4 inches of rainfall in this area of south carolina, right through central and western portions of virginia. the other weather story, we're going to have storms, isolated tornadoes, definitely large hail and gusty winds. watch out from san antonio, austin, to waco. all portions of central texas. as far as the east coast goes from d.c. to new york, cloudy and a little more humid. boston, almost 90 degrees. yasmin, an interesting fact yesterday, burlington, vermont,

hit 90 degrees and we haven't even hit 90 in areas like atlanta. it was a little topsy-turvy, even north new england. >> thank you, bill. still ahead, everybody, the united states is expected to hit another grim milestone today. what president trump has to say about the u.s. reaching 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus. also, the president calls joe biden's decision to wear a mask on memorial day unusual. and biden is hitting back. those stories and more, coming up. sprinting past every leak in our softest, smoothest fabric. she's confident, protected, her strength respected. depend. the only thing stronger than us, is you. i but what i do count on...ts anis boost high protein...rs, and now, there's boost mobility... ...with key nutrients to help support... joints, muscles, and bones. try boost mobility, with added collagen.

welcome back, everybody. i'm yasmin vossoughian. a grim milestone now. the u.s. likely hitting another striking measure of the pandemic. by the time the sun sets today. 100,000 deaths from the coronavirus. it is a startling number. reached at a shocking pace, from one death to 100,000, in just three months. "usa today" is out with a new cover featuring the stories of many of the victims. the special feature comes with an essay calling the virus the, quote, fastest killer in u.s. history. we're long past the president's predictions here. first, he estimated between 50,000 and 70,000 deaths. when we passed that mark he predicted 80,000 or 90,000 deaths. here's what he's saying now that his leadership is approaching 100,000 deaths. >> we closed the border to china. meaning we put on a ban people

coming in from comphiehina. it was a very big moment. as dr. fauci said we saves thousands and thousands of lives when we did that. that's true. but i think we would have had 10 to 20 to 25 times the number of deaths if we didn't act the way we did and also we didn't act swiftly. so we're very proud of our team and our task force, and, mike, great job. >> and i just want to be clear here, if we're looking at the east coast here, right, where all of the clusters of the majority of cases are especially here in new york, science has told us at this point that many of those cases actually came from europe, not necessarily from china. and there is no success in claiming that 100,000 lives have been lost to this pandemic. let's talk about new york, though. the governor andrew cuomo announcing yesterday that the number of daily new coronavirus cases and deaths reported in new york was the lowest since the state started its lockdown

back in march. >> the number of hospitalizations down. great news. rolling average down, number of intubations down, number of null covid cases down to the lowest level since this ever started, just about 200. amen. number of lives lost, 73. that's the lowest level that we have seen since this started. so, again, in this absurd new reality that is good news. any other time and place, when we lose 73 new yorkers it's tragic. it's tragic now, but relative to where we've been, we're on the other side of the curve. and that is the lowest number that we've had. >> but, just to point out here, and it is important to note, as of yesterday, new york has had

372,866 confirmed cases. and 30,252 deaths. that is an astounding number for one state. so, despite cdc guidance urging americans to wear a mask or cloth face covering when they're in public areas, the president yesterday telling reporters he thought it was, quote, unusual to see joe biden wearing one during a memorial day ceremony this week. >> biden can wear a mask, but he was standing outside with his wife, perfect conditions. perfect weather. they're inside, they don't wear masks. so, i thought it was very unusual that he had one on. i thought that was fine. i wasn't criticizing him at all. why would i ever do a thing like that. >> not necessarily sure what the weather has to do with wearing a mask. so the president also retweeted the post by fox news commentator brit hume criticizing wearing a mask taking the precautions by

the cdc. meanwhile, joe biden criticizing the president for refusing to wear a mask in public. biden called trump an absolute fool for mocking the use of masks. >> a president is supposed to lead by example. and i watched -- i watched the president yesterday wearing no mask, you know, and saw him making fun of the fact wore a mask. the truth of the matter i think he's supposed to lead by example. >> president trump went to a memorial day service, he did not wear a mask. on twitter, he he tweeted a photo of you wearing it. he's trying to belittle you for wearing a mask. making it seem like it's a sign of weakness. is it? >> he's a fool. an absolute fool to talk that way. i mean every leading doc in the world is saying you should wear

a mask when you're until a crowd. just absolutely this macho stuff for a guy -- well, i shouldn't get going. it just is, it's cost people lives. it's costing people's lives. we're almost 100,000 dead today. 100,000 people. columbia study showing that if this started a week earlier, we could have saved thousands of these lives. i mean, this is a tragedy. >> so, biden dug in. he changed his profile picture on twitter to one of him wearing a mask that he donned on memorial day. joining me once again, white house reporter for politico daniel lipmann. it's astounding to me, daniel, it seems as mask-wearing has been completely politicized. if you support trump, you don't wear a mask. if you do not support trump, you do wear a mask. i don't know how this has been

so political. it's health-based and guidelines of cdc. talk to me about this. >> yes, i wrote a piece about that this week, talking about this very subject. it's been a touchstone of culture wars. and, you know, it's a pretty sad fact that it's part of that. if you wear a mask, it doesn't mean that you're automatically a democrat. or if you don't, you're republican. there are some partisan lines that don't line up exactly. you don't have to wear a mask when you're in your car and the windows are up. but i think a lot of people that want to send a good message to their neighbors. they want to say, hey, we're in this together. i don't want to expose anyone, i may be asymptomatic and a positive case, i just don't want to risk it. just a half a percentage point chance if everybody didn't wear a mask then we could see a lot

of spread. >> let's talk about president trump and the biden election. you have a scenario that democrats are dreading. what is that scenario, daniel? >> well, the scenario is a third quarter is that very good economically, with the falling unemployment rate historically annualized gdp growth from a pretty low base basically. and democrats, they don't want to be cheering the economy doing poorly. but they also know that president trump, no matter what, is going to say -- he's going to claim credit. he's going to go on a victory lap saying i am the one who you can trust to rebuild this economy. i built it once. i can rebuild it a second time. and so jason furman who is an obama top economist, he's been making the case that democrats shouldn't be caught flat-fwlooo.

they need to have good messaging that accounting for that scenario. because the third quarter is going to be bad. and then democrats should not be making the case as unemployment is going to be forever at these awful numbers. >> all right. daniel lipmann, my friend. great to see you as always. thanks for joining us. >> thank you. still ahead, everybody, pentagon officials are drawing up plans to bring to america's longest running war including a complete withdrawal from afghanistan by election day. our "first look" at "morning joe" is back in a moment.

welcome back, everybody. senior military officials are

expected to present president trump with plans to draw down troops in afghanistan to bring an end to america's longest running war. one possible time line would withdraw all troops from the country before election day, according to the "the new york times" to help bolster the president's campaign. but officials say they plan to propose and advocate a slower time frame for withdrawal. in the president's decision is the president of covid-19 inside of afghanistan. since at least 50% of afghanistan forces are believed to be infected. but sources worn that a hasty withdrawal to lead to the advance of isis. for instance, gunmen storming in a maternal ward in kabul, killing at least 24 people, including newborn babies and mothers. back in february, the pentagon

introduced a deal with the taliban to withdraw troops by july. and let's bring in once again nbc meteorologist bill karins who has been checking the covid numbers for us throughout this time period, as well as the weather. give us what you have, bill. >> yeah, it remained pretty quiet from the holiday weekend. let's see if we get that uptick today. yesterday, 774 fatalities going all the way back to march 24th, so that was good. the first total cases we've had 19,000 to 20,000 over the last few days in a row. it's not like we've had a huge drop but it has been a little lower. it's been the lowest three-day average going all the way back to late march. so good news there. let's transition into what is the bigger event later this evening, that's the launch forecast for crew dragon demo 2.

that's what they're calling this mission. this is spacex, a live picture there at cape canaveral. it's expected to go off at 5:43. this is where it gets dicey, the rainy season for the launch. during the rainy schedule. right now, they're saying a 60% of favorable weather which means a 40% chance it could get strong. and the latest information from our computer has these thunderstorms right over the cape at 4:30 in the afternoon. it doesn't mean it's going to happen exactly like this. at least there's a chance it could go later because of the storms. we'll monitor that. of course, if you want to watch that launch you can get it here on msnbc later this afternoon. the pore big story, the epic heat wave. record highs. in northern new england, no joke

today, burlington, vermont, is going to be 93 degrees this afternoon. that's nothing compared to the heat in the west. numerous records are possible for the end of the week. if you want a day to take the kids, something historic, yasmin, that's 3:30 east coast time. >> i think that's pretty cool, hopefully, it won't get sidelined by the thunderstorms that your models are predicting. let's hope this time your models are actually wrong. thank you, bill. still ahead, we're going for an early look at what's driving wall street on cnbc. and novavax on monday announced it has launched critical trials of its vaccine candidate, with expectations for preliminary results in july. the company's ceo yesterday telling cnbc, if successful, workers on the front lines of the pandemic will be first to receive a vaccine. and it could come as soon as the fourth quarter of this year.

welcome back, everybody. former vice president joe biden has earned the endorsement of the largest coalition of labor unions in the country. the american federation of labor and congress of industrial organizations. the afl-cio which includes 55 unions and represents more than 12.5 million workers joins a long list of labor unions that have endorsed the former vice president. and in business news, the international agency has paved the way for global energy investment in history. cnbc's julianna tatelbaum is joining us live from london on that. julianna, good morning, great to see you on this wednesday morning, what more can you tell us about this? >> good morning. well, the iea has called this plunge stagger in both scale and swiftness. so, we're talking about a

serious plunge here in world energy investment. and this is important for a number of reasons. number one, it means obviously lost jobs and economic opportunities. it also means potentially lost begins to reopen again and we see a resurgence in demand for earth products. and then longer term it has some implications for the energy transition. this is the move away from traditional fuels to more sustainable types of energy. if we see a reduction in spending to make that transition, it makes the transition more difficult and pushes it out. it's pretty significant implication here from this international energy report. in terms of stock markets, we're looking at a strong open for wall street. dow jones posting significant gains at the open. this is an advance from yesterday for u.s. stocks. a lot of optimism around the opening of the u.s. economy.

and vaccine hopes. you mentioned video offa vaxs and that nova vacs. and amtrak is set to cut up to 20% of its workforce by october. ridership and ticket revenue from the company have fallen by 95% since the pandemic began. they are starting to slowly reopen routes on june 1st. you'll be able to take the washington to boston express train, but it's a long road from here to recover the lost revenues they have faced. amtrak employees, more than 18,000 people nationwide. yasmin. >> yeah, the travel industry across the board taking a major blow amidst this pandemic. thank you so much, julianna, great to see you. coming up next, everybody, a look at axios' one big thing. and coming up on "morning joe,"

welcome back, everybody. joining me now with a look at axios am, political reporter for axios, alexi ma cam mondccammon good to see you. >> good morning. president trump eexuberance around the state -- happening today including his decision to go to florida for that launch goes beyond his personal fascination with astronauts, it goes beyond wielding power in the next generation or things like that. what matters here around trump's excitement with the spacex one is there's a presidential election in november, and this american space program has wide

support across party lines. something that is very rare to see in polling, especially in the trump era. as i mentioned, the kennedy space center where this is launching from is located in florida. but florida is near and dear to president trump's heart. also it matters to the election, so that's why he's going there. you also see someone like former vice president joe biden, his campaign hosting calls with former nasa administrators and others to talk about this launch and celebrate this milestone. so we're really seeing how this is something that's not just a moment for america as a country, but for political candidates to try to take advantage of this moment to celebrate an american milestone in the middle of the global pandemic. >> well, let's hope it doesn't get sidelined and actually gets off the launchpad, sidelined, of course, by the impending thunderstorms that maybe hovering on the launch site. we'll have to wait and see what happens there. you actually talked with

michigan governor gretchen whitmer about negotiating with the president. what did she have to say? >> that's right. i just interviewed governor whitmer of michigan for our hbo show. we talked about her handling of covid in the state. the way president trump talks about her and with will whoing funding from her and what that means about how she can talk about him publicly. and she talked about the relationship with barack obama and chris christie which is an example of how things could work in this moment. >> i was think the other day about when barack obama went into new jersey after the hurricane and was greeted by chris christie and they both stood there and said we're going to get through this and work through this together. that's how it should be and that's what i would like it to be like, frankly, and that's what we should expect it to be. and that's not what it is, obviously. >> so you really see the way that she's reminiscing on an

earlier era of politics. we talked about that about how you don't see that bipartisanship that you don't see right now. but she says she needs to sensor herself when talking about the president because if she says something against him or he perceives her to be against him, he will withhold federal funding for the coronavirus. and we've seen him making comments about the absentee ballot for november. >> especially me covering hurricane sandy myself, the handshake and comradery that we saw between then governor chris christie and then president obama. did the governor at all say that she feels like that's something that could happen with this president? she says she'd like it to be there, she feels like it should be there. but does she feel like there's any open door to that or is it

beyond that at this point? >> yeah, i didn't ask her that exact question but based on the conversation we had around the conversations she's had with republicans across the board but also president trump and vice president pence, it's clear that they are taking notes of the things that she is saying to them. she has said, but that they're not heeding her pleas. she has asked them multiple times to tone down the rhetoric to have a better working relationship, but nothing has changed. if that's coming from the top, there's little hope for someone like governor whitmer that that there will be this moment of bipartisan under president trump who is attack her directly and it feels like weekly sometimes. >> yeah, i mean, she has been the ire of the president from the beginning from when she was asking for ventilators and more ppe e ppe to asking for help for her state. thank you so much.

"morning joe" starts right now. biden can wear a mask but he was standing outside with his wife, perfect conditions, perfect weather. they're inside they don't wear masks. i thought it was unusual he had one on. >> he's a fool. an absolute fool to talk that way. i mean, every leading doc in the world is saying we should wear a mask when you're in a crowd. >> president trump and joe biden yesterday on the issue of masks. >> well, and, you know, it wasn't just that clip, that back and forth. donald trump yesterday, willie, actually mocked a reporter -- >> yeah. >> -- for wearing a mask and accused him -- i can't even believe this. well, i can believe it, of course. i can believe a
