Sen. Dianne Feinstein photographed not wearing mask in airport
California Democrat had called for nationwide mask mandate on airlines, public transportation.

The photos, obtained by "Tucker Carlson Tonight," show Feinstein on Friday near a man wearing a face mask while walking through Signature Flight Support at Dulles International Airport. The terminal services passengers flying private.

Feinstein wrote to the FAA to urge them to "issue clear, nationwide, mandatory mask requirements for all aviation employees and travelers" in late June.
"I ask that you issue guidance as soon as possible so passengers can have a clear understanding of the requirements and so that we may reduce exposure for workers and travelers alike," she wrote at the time.
Tucker Carlson Tonight's inquiries to Feinstein's office were not returned at the time of publication.
