During the LA Rams v. 49ers game, multiple politicians and celebrities were seen maskless even as they force those around them to wear masks.
The Mayor of Los Angeles claimed he was holding his breath when he took a picture with Magic Johnson. The Governor of California claimed he only had it off to eat and drink. Both were lying. Multiple pictures and videos showed them maskless with no food or drink nearby.
Then, over the weekend, Stacey Abrams and some progressives delightfully posted pictures of Abrams at a local public school in Decatur, GA. Decatur is a progressive enclave outside Atlanta proper, but inside the Perimeter, a name for I-285, which circles the urban core of Atlanta.
Children were all wearing masks so Abrams could pose for pictures with them maskless. It is a national news story today. It is not, but should be a news story that a public school invited a gubernatorial candidate to campaign in the public school. But people are focused on Abrams’ mask hypocrisy.
Instead of saying sorry, Abrams’ campaign deleted the picture and lashed out at Republicans for supposedly unfair attacks. Abrams, not too long ago, attacked Governor Brian Kemp for not imposing mandatory masks in schools.
A lot of right-of-center commentators say Kemp and the legislature, currently meeting, should immediately ban masks in schools. The reality is Georgia is overwhelmingly maskless now except the urban progressive enclaves like Decatur. If Kemp banned mask mandates, those parents would still have their kids in masks by choice. Several of the big restaurants in Atlanta still make patrons wear masks when entering and exiting the restaurant. Progressives love the theater of it. It makes them feel safe.
The issue, however, highlights the war on the rest of us from the elite. Abrams wants everyone to wear masks but gets to opt-out. Instead of saying sorry, she attacks anyone for pointing out the hypocrisy.
It isn’t just her. Time and time again, this is happening as Democrat politicians who want everyone masked, refuse to do the same. They don’t recognize the hypocrisy. They don’t recognize how out of touch it makes them seem. They cannot believe it is actually going to cost them support.
But it will. November is coming and the Democrats, in their progressive enclaves surrounded by COVID Chicken Littles always afraid the sky is falling, are going to have the political sky fall on them.
As for the poseurs and their Covid theater: The show is already getting bad reviews and will definitely be closed on November 8th.
I am counting the days until she "wins" again, you know, like the last time she "won."
