Climate czar John Kerry was caught not wearing his mask while on an American Airlines flight in spite of a CDC mandate requiring masks on flights.
The CDC issued a mandate in January that went into effect at the beginning of last month which states that individuals "must wear masks that cover both the mouth and nose" while traveling on public transportation and while at a "transportation hub."
American Airlines said on Twitter and reiterated that "masks are required" on their planes for everyone.
The passenger who took the picture said: "I salute our Very Special Presidential Envoy for Climate for not flying private, but instead flying first class commercial with the rest of us common folk," said the passenger. "And while he can’t bring himself to follow his own party’s mask restrictions, we should cut him some slack."
"Being an elite hypocrite is hard work!" the passenger added.
