Maskless Dems Take Flight
Chair of Illinois Democratic Party caught napping on a plane without a mask

Democrats finally abandoned their support for strict mask mandates just in time for President Joe Biden's State of the Union address on Tuesday. It wasn't because "the science has changed," as some so-called experts argued, but rather because Democratic politicians looked at their poll numbers heading into the midterm elections and realized that voters were rightly annoyed by all the prominent Democrats flaunting their maskless faces in the presence of masked children.
Nevertheless, elected Democrats continue to behave as though the rules do not apply to them. For example, ordinary Americans are still forced to wear masks on airplanes and other forms of public transportation. Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg has described wearing masks on planes as a "matter of respect," but some members of his party don't appear to have gotten the message. The Washington Free Beacon has obtained photos of two top Democrats flying the friendly skies without their masks in blatant defiance of federal guidelines.
Rep. Robin Kelly (D., Ill.), who serves as chairwoman of the Illinois Democratic Party, was spotted napping on a plane Thursday with her mask pulled down around her chin. Kelly, a longtime proponent of mask mandates, scolded a group of maskless Republican lawmakers for "putting us and our staff at risk."
