In the past few weeks we’ve seen many examples of politicians who are big proponents of drastic lockdown/shutdown measures (for you, not themselves). For example, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and San Francisco Mayor London Breed both have a French Laundry problem, and the mayor of Denver was caught traveling for Thanksgiving after advising everybody else to stay put.
Tony Plohetski, a reporter for the Austin American-Stateman, has the latest example of rank hypocrisy and Dem indifference to their own warnings:
EXCLUSIVE: Austin Mayor Steve Adler told the public to "stay home if you can…this is not the time to relax" in a Nov. 9 Facebook video. He did not disclose that he was at a timeshare in Cabo San Lucas after flying on a private jet with eight family members and guests. pic.twitter.com/w1uZahGfpM

You just can’t make this stuff up.
The Mexico trip with family came the day after Adler hosted a small wedding for his daughter at a trendy South Congress Hotel with 20 attendees. Adler says he consulted with health authorities prior and that guests had to undergo COVID-19 testing and practice social distancing.

Adler did not violate his own order or those by Gov. Greg Abbott. However, city hall insiders have begun quietly discussing Adler's personal activities. Adler has been a constant voice during the COVID-19 pandemic, urging residents to take precautions. Here is his statement: pic.twitter.com/atrNs6ELB8

PRO TIP: They all get caught violating the rules they put on you for two reasons:
1. They think you’re a chump who won’t do anything about it.
2. They’re not really scared of coronavirus. It’s all for show. https://t.co/28PetLxHR0— Jesse Kelly (@JesseKellyDC) December 2, 2020

Yep, that’s him! Did he at least stay home for seven days after traveling as recommended here?
If you participated in high-risk Thanksgiving activities (indoor gatherings, travel, or any crowded gatherings) get tested at least 3-5 days after the event AND stay home for 7 days after gathering or traveling. If you test positive, follow @AusPublicHealth guidelines.

This is a great idea:
At this point, it's a shorter list of politicians who haven't violated their own guidelines and recommendations.
