Fully vaccinated Kamala and husband Doug kiss with masks ON before she flies to Rhode Island where she picks up novel on 'white male rage'

 Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff kissed through their masks Wednesday – even though they are both fully-vaccinated – before heading their separate ways on flights.

The vice president traveled to Rhode Island where she stopped by a local store to buy four books, including one on 'white male rage', while Emhoff went to Pennsylvania to tour a micro brewery.

As Harris prepared to board Air Force Two for a day trip to Providence, she shared a peck with Emhoff without removing their face coverings.


Both Harris and Emhoff are vaccinated against coronavirus and new Centers for Disease Control and Prevention guidance says those vaccinated do not need to wear masks while outside.

The move is yet another confusing display on what the White House is recommending vaccinated Americans do in reference to wearing face coverings in public.

Harris held up the books for press when exiting the store and said she has been wanting to read them.

'I'm going to find time to do it,' she insisted.
