RULE-BREAKING
California gives him plenty of fodder. San Francisco Mayor London Breed went to a party at that fancy restaurant, too. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi got her hair done when California salons were closed. Mississippi Governor Tate Reeves held three Christmas parties, violating his executive order limiting the number of people at gatherings. When a reporter asked, “How is that not in conflict with the order?” Reeves responded that his parties “send a message to the people of Mississippi that you can return to a life that is somewhat normal.” But “the people” can’t. Only politicians get to do that. Rhode Island Governor Gina Raimondo attended a wine and paint event, just days after tweeting, “Stay home except for essential activities & wear a mask.”
If politicians do it, it’s always necessary. Rules are for the little people.
Even after a photo showed her at the event, Biden nominated Raimondo to be Secretary of Commerce. “Instead of being booted out, they get a promotion,” complains Stepman. Washington, D.C., Mayor Muriel Bowser ordered a 14-day quarantine for anyone going to several states, including Delaware, for “nonessential” activity. Then she went to Delaware for a Biden victory celebration, something that strikes me as “nonessential” as they get. “I do a lot of things to advance the interests of the District of Columbia,” was Bowser’s arrogant defense. “All of them are necessary.”
