As you’re probably aware, Oregon Gov. Kate Brown has gone bonkers with the calls for masking, both indoors and outdoors:
Wearing a mask is not a political statement.
Wearing a mask is an act of kindness.
Masks don’t just protect you, they protect everyone around you from COVID-19.
Today I'm wearing my mask for our kids who are headed back to school soon and our hardworking health care heroes.

Today we have 1,000 COVID-19 patients in our hospitals. I’m continuing to take actions to protect Oregonians and save lives.
Effective Friday 8/27, masks will be required in public outdoors settings where physical distancing is not possible, regardless of vaccination status. pic.twitter.com/0EU6bteTPU

Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler also wants everybody to join him in “making a commitment to protect those around us by wearing a mask at all times while indoors”:
Oregon's indoor face-covering requirement is in effect as of today. Please join me in making a commitment to protect those around us by wearing a mask at all times while indoors. https://t.co/yCXwvyL35V

However, Wheeler and others were spotted indoors not practicing what he preached, but he had an excuse at the ready:
This story also includes an image we obtained of Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler at a gathering inside a hotel last week.
His office says they were in compliance with the mask mandate because they were “actively eating and/or drinking."

As usual, the “rules” are for you, not them.
every kid wearing a mask in school would like a word with Mayor Wheeler. https://t.co/1HbXd0szwv

Protip:
Always keep a water bottle next to you. Any time some asks about masks, just say that you’re “actively” drinking. 😉 https://t.co/oxzwV0G72m

Non.stop. You fools who support these mask mandates can’t see you are being played. https://t.co/IrgiQ3iqWB

This kind of “active” eating and drinking would get all these people kicked off an airplane. https://t.co/5x8ggXmwc4
