Rules For Thee, Not For Me, Peasant
Austin Mayor Is Latest Official To Not Practice The COVID-19 Precautions They Preach
When even the far left HuffPo is calling out Democrat politicians for hypocritically telling people to stay home while they themselves are out partying, you know we have a problem
Quote:
The mayor of Austin, Texas, is the latest public official to break from their own COVID-19 recommendations, telling residents last month to stay home while he hosted a wedding and vacationed in Mexico.
Democratic Mayor Steve Adler boarded a private jet with several others in early November to vacation for a week at a family timeshare in Cabo San Lucas, according to the Austin American-Statesman, which broke the story on Wednesday. The trip reportedly came one day after Adler hosted an outdoor wedding with 20 guests for his daughter at a time when health officials were urgently warning of a COVID-19 surge.
On Nov. 9 ― one night into his trip, according to the American-Statesman ― Adler posted a Facebook video addressing Austin residents about curbing the spread of the virus.
“We need to stay home if you can,” he said in the video. “This is not the time to relax. We are going to be looking really closely. … We may have to close things down if we are not careful.”
Adler did not disclose in the video that he was in Mexico, a country that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention specifically advised Americans ahead of Thanksgiving not to travel to because of the spike in infections.
So, which of our resident leftist posters are going to defend this (along with plenty of other Democrat politicians doing the same thing, including the mayor of Denver, the Governor of California, the mayors of San Francisco, and San Jose, etc...)
As I said in the title, it's pretty much a case of rules for thee, but not for me, peasant.
