Former President Obama was seen maskless in candid snaps of his Hawaii building project as masked construction workers surround the former POTUS.
QUICK FACTS:
- Former President Barack Obama is receiving criticism over interacting, maskless, with workers at his multimillion-dollar Hawaii mansion project, according to Fox News.
- Obama was conversing with Armstrong Builders, the group constructing his Oahu beachfront compound, according to the Daily Mail.
- The former president created a controversial response, going maskless following outspoken support for COVID-19 policies, according to The Hill.
SUBHPREVIOUS INSTANCE OF MASKLESS OBAMA:
- In August of 2021 Obama was seen dancing maskless at a booze-filled 60th birthday party in Martha’s Vineyard, according to The Washington Examiner.
- Video footage of the event showed a number of A-list attendees, many of whom appeared to be bare-faced, despite reports of there being custom masks provided for attendees.
- This event was just weeks before the former president’s secretary of education compared anti-maskers to Afghanistan Suicide bombers, according to Townhall.
BACKGROUND:
- Obama’s photo was taken at his $8.7 million property purchased in 2015 and made famous by the 1980s by the TV show “Magnum P.I.” according to The Daily Mail.
- Construction on the property itself has caused contention as the former president’s team found a loophole to retain a seawall that is believed to be causing beach erosion, due to the interruption of the natural flow of the ocean and prevention of beaches from moving inland, according to scientists and environmental experts.
