Two More California Officials Caught Breaking Their Own COVID Ruleshttps://hotair.com/archives/allahpundit/2020/12/01/two-california-officials-caught-breaking-covid-rules/Part of me grudgingly admires the balls it takes for a public servant to flout social-distancing rules in Cali after weeks of the governor being lambasted for doing that very thing and with the state now on the brink of another lockdown, crushing businesses near and far.
...
Do these A-holes want to get caught? Are they getting a weird thrill from it, a little power trip derived from their notoriety as policymakers?
First up: The mayor of San Jose.
The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit has learned [Mayor Sam] Liccardo celebrated [Thanksgiving] with his elderly parents at their Saratoga home with an unknown number of other guests. While the mayor’s staff did confirm the dinner took place, they have not disclosed how many other people attended, how many different households were present, and whether any of those in attendance wore masks while not eating…
Last week, Liccardo urged his more than 33,000 Twitter followers to cancel “big gatherings this year†and noted the importance of following safety protocols, even with friends and family…
...
Up next: Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl, who cast the deciding vote last Tuesday in ordering all outdoor dining in the county to be discontinued and who decided to celebrate that vote by heading out to Santa Monica for a little, uh, outdoor dining.
A spokesperson for Kuehl provided FOX 11 the following brief statement:
“She did dine al fresco at Il Forno on the very last day it was permissible. She loves Il Forno, has been saddened to see it, like so many restaurants, suffer from a decline in revenue. She ate there, taking appropriate precautions, and sadly will not dine there again until our Public Health Orders permit.â€
What Kuehl's spokesmuffin didn't mention is that while Kuehl dined at Il Forno before the shutdown cut in, her dining there was after she voted for the shutdown.
While the mailing address for my home is "San Jose", I live in an unincorporated area. So Liccardo is not my mayor.
