John Kerry Flouts Mask Mandate at Airport
Kerry also went maskless on March flight
A spokeswoman for Logan Airport told the Free Beacon that masks are required "any time someone is inside the airport or on an aircraft," including during security screening, in accordance with the TSA mandate.
The White House did not respond to a request for comment. President Joe Biden appointed Kerry last year to serve as his special presidential envoy for climate, a cabinet-level position.
Biden implemented the TSA airport mask requirement through an executive order in January. As part of the mandate, TSA said it would recommend a $250 fine for first-time violators and an up to $1,500 fine for "repeat offenders."
Kerry denied breaking the mask mandate in March, after photos of him going maskless on an American Airlines flight were published by the Tennessee Star.
"Let’s be clear: If I dropped my mask to one ear on a flight, it was momentary," Kerry wrote in a Twitter post on March 17. "I wear my mask because it saves lives and stops the spread. It’s what the science tells us to do."
Kerry’s press office did not respond to a request for comment. A spokeswoman for the State Department, where Kerry’s office is based, declined to comment.
