In another instance of ‘let them eat cake’, the New Orleans mayor was caught partying maskless and having a great time over the weekend despite her city’s indoor mask mandate, which she forced on the city:
FOX NEWS – New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell was pictured partying maskless during an indoor Mardi Gras event Friday night, despite reinstating the city’s COVID-19 mask mandate for schools and indoor public spaces just weeks ago.
One hundred short videos taken at the Mayor’s Mardi Gras Ball at Gallier Hall were posted online before they were deleted following Fox News’ inquiries Monday. The videos, taken by a 360-degree photo booth, showed Cantrell singing karaoke maskless with two other women, who were also without masks.
Not a single person wore a protective facemask in the videos, which were taken down less than an hour after Fox News requested comment from Cantrell.
The event comes after Cantrell reinstated the city’s indoor mask mandate for all indoor public settings, including schools, which is still in effect through Mardi Gras Day on March 1.
The mayor’s spokesman released a pathetic statement:
In a statement to Fox News, Cantrell spokesman Beau Tidwell admitted that there was not a “perfect adoption of the guidelines in every instance” over the weekend.
“The mask guidelines and the vaccination requirement will remain in effect thru Mardi Gras,” he said. “That has not changed and it will not change. Under the current guidelines, masks may be removed indoors while eating and drinking. While we did not see perfect adoption of the guidelines in every instance over the weekend, we were encouraged overall by the level of masking and vigilance we saw on the parade route and at ball events.”
Not a perfect adoption of the guidelines my butt. This was a flagrant violation by this elitist mayor who is just like all the leftist elitist city officials who get caught doing the same.
Her citizens should be outraged and I hope they do everything to kick her out of office.
