Austin’s Democrat Mayor ‘Sorry’ for Traveling to Mexico While Telling Others to Stay HomeAmy Furr 4 Dec 2020
Austin, Texas, Mayor Steve Adler (D) is apologizing for traveling to Mexico after urging residents to stay home to slow the spread of the Chinese coronavirus.
In a Facebook video posted Wednesday, Adler said following his daughter’s private wedding in Austin during the first week of November, a “small, mostly family group traveled to Mexicoâ€:
“I want you to know that I regret that travel. I wouldn’t travel now. I didn’t over Thanksgiving, and I won’t over Christmas, and no one should,†the mayor continued:
Everyone should be avoiding nonessential travel now because we’re in the orange area. Now, I fear that the travel that I did, which took place during a safer period, followed the color-coded rules, could lead to some taking riskier behavior now. I recognize that my travel set a bad example. I recognize that the fact that I took that trip and at the same time was continuing to urge people to be cautious is confusing. I know that others have chosen not to travel under the same circumstances, and I know that in my position I need to send a clearer message. I’m sorry I took that trip. It was a lapse in judgment, and I want you to know that I apologize.
