As Twitchy reported, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, who’s pondering a statewide curfew to slow the spread of the coronavirus, apologized for attending a birthday party at a pricey restaurant, saying, “We’re all human, we all fall short sometimes.” He should have gotten back in his car and left after seeing the size of the gathering, he said, but … he didn’t.
The Daily Caller’s Mary Margaret Olohan has put together a fantastic thread compiling the biggest COVID-19 hypocrites in government. Twitchy’s covered most of these before, but to see them all together is really something.

But what about those armed, racist “domestic terrorists” who “stormed” the Michigan State House to protest the expansive lockdown orders laid down by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who suggested you Google how to give yourself a haircut? And what about Bethany “Grandma Killer” Mandel, who suggested it would be nice to take her kids to the zoo?
Amazing. This thread is amazing. And it's not just the hypocrisy. It shows that these people are disingenuous about their concerns.

What about chris cuomo getting a letter from his building manager that he needs to stop prancing around with no mask in the building and putting others at risk or the time he was supposed to quarantine because of covid and he was caught jogging. I mean the list is endless ?

Also @GovPritzker who sent his family to the wide-open state of Florida and is headed there himself on his private jet for Thanksgiving – another fraud!

Let’s not forget about Gavin Newsom sending his kids to school and Andrew Cuomo getting a haircut without a mask on

All narcissists. Check out the non apologies/defensive rationalizations for their choices of behavior. As if the scissors just attacked Pelosi’s head, & Newsom can justify “his mistake” by nonchalantly castigating all of society. Disgusting gaslighting. Thanks 4 compiling.

But they don’t want us to celebrate Thanksgiving with our family ?

And that thread doesn’t even touch all of the Black Lives Matter protests/riots that were overlooked.
