'Stay home,' says US mayor at Mexico beach resort
by Maddog Thu Dec 03, 2020 3:32 pm
Steve Adler, leader of Austin, Texas, went on a family getaway to Mexico as he told people to keep indoors amid spiralling virus caseloads.
He recorded a video from the beach resort instructing residents back home: "This is not the time to relax."
But Mr Adler, a Democrat, denied violating his own regulations.
A number of cases involving Democratic office-holders being accused of double standards on coronavirus rule-flouting have made headlines in recent weeks.
Democrats tend to be more in favour of broad virus-control measures than their Republican counterparts.
California Governor Gavin Newsom last month apologised after he was caught dining with lobbyists and members of the California Medical Association, all without masks, at a crowded table for 12 in a swanky restaurant in Napa Valley.
He initially claimed the meal at the Michelin-starred French Laundry, where some prix fixe plates go for $450 per person, took place outdoors. But photos emerged showing the space had a roof, three walls and another wall with sliding glass doors.
This week Mr Newsom warned he was considering "dramatic, arguably drastic" stay-at-home orders to tackle surging coronavirus caseload in the state.
It has since emerged that one night after Mr Newsom dined at the French Laundry, San Francisco Mayor London Breed attended a birthday party for a socialite at the same restaurant.
The meal took place as Ms Breed was urging residents to stay at home and avoid socialising, reports the San Francisco Chronicle.
In other recent cases involving Democrats:
On Tuesday, the mayor of San Jose, California, Sam Liccardo, apologised for attending a Thanksgiving dinner with family members from five households - more than state regulations allowed
A delegation of California lawmakers jetted off to a resort in Maui, Hawaii, for a conference with lobbyists as state residents were being instructed to avoid nonessential travel
California Senator Dianne Feinstein - who has called for congressional coronavirus aid to be made conditional on states imposing mask mandates - was photographed at the US Capitol and at an airport without any face-covering
US House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi, also of California, was pictured without a mask inside a hair salon, breaking rules that only allow service outdoors, but she refused to apologise
Los Angeles County Supervisor Sheila Kuehl dined outdoors at her favourite restaurant — shortly after voting to uphold a ban on outdoor dining, which she said endangered serving staff
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot defended her decision to get a haircut while barbershops and salons were closed under Illinois' stay-at-home order. Ms Lightfoot had previously said "getting your roots done is not essential"
"Pass the potatoes, not COVID... Avoid travel," tweeted Denver Mayor Michael Hancock last week from the airport en route to a family Thanksgiving in Mississippi
Washington DC Mayor Muriel Bowser violated her own Covid-19 travel advisory and quarantine requirements after going to Delaware to celebrate Joe Biden's presidential victory. She defended the trip as "essential travel"

The French Laundry restaurant is one of the 4 or 5 best restaurants in the world. It is included in the annual Restaurant Magazine list of the Top 50 Restaurants of the World (having been named THE "Best Restaurant in the World" in both 2003 and 2004). It was inducted into the Culinary Hall of Fame in 2012, and since 2007 the restaurant has been the recipient of the Wine Spectator Grand Award. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_French_Laundry
Lunch at the French Laundry is not to be treated lightly.

You've never been there, I can tell.
They don't permit just anyone to dine there.

Yes, ultimately their exalted position creates false expectations in the rest of us. Unfortunately, they are human like everyone else.

Yes they are but unfortunately, they are in the position of making sure they practice what they preach.

To be sure. And the essential task of a leader is to lead. One way of leading is by example. Another way, is by telling us: do as I say, not as I do.
They are human and they fail sometimes...or, more likely, they just don't think.

All true, but as their followers, we are invited to point out their flaws. Look how we harassed Trump! And rightly so.

I agree. The Republican failure to follow good hygenic practices during the pandemic is responsible for many thousands of deaths. But their leadership concerns stopped at the Stock Market.

I think that is healthy. Unfortunately, when it is reversed and taken in by politicians, you end up with Moscow Mitch, taking orders from Vladimir Putin.

A "number of cases" is not very specific. The Democratic leaders are the exceptions to the rule.
But, most in Texas (4th largest US city), Arizona (5th largest US city), Florida (3d largest state), and throughout the south, followed Trump's lead into unhygentic practices.

Email the BBC and let them know Walter.
I didn't write the fucking article.
BTW, they specifically list the examples.

Which means, it's hardly a generality that it was Dems.
I think it's ironic that the policy of Republicans resulted in the deaths of Republicans. Poetic justice.

It's both,v as always.
But the Dems are being more hypocritical as they are the ones preaching one action and doing another.
