According to reports, a maskless Former President Barack Obama spoke with workers from Armstrong Builders, all of whom were wearing masks, as they stood outside during construction of his new home in Hawaii.
While there is no outdoor mask mandate in Hawaii, Obama’s decision to forgo one in the presence of others who were wearing face coverings drew criticism from some.
Obama is building the multimillion-dollar beachfront mansion despite controversy about the project's use of a loophole that allows a seawall that some say will cause beach erosion.
