Psaki Asked if Kamala Harris is Exempt from CDC Guidelines Regarding Covid-19

White House press secretary Jen Psaki on Friday defended Vice President Kamala Harris for giving Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson a hug without a face mask after coming into close contact with individuals who had tested positive for COVID-19 this week.

Asked by Fox News White House correspondent Peter Doocy about the embrace, which took place earlier on Friday at the White House during a ceremony honoring Jackson's confirmation to the Supreme Court, Psaki appeared to acknowledge the mistake, saying Harris had had an "emotional moment."
