San Francisco mayor justifies violating her own mask rules while partying: 'We don't need the fun police to ... tell us what we should or shouldn't be doing'
Left-wing San Francisco Mayor London Breed ran into a buzzsaw of controversy of her own making last week when she was caught on video partying maskless in a nightclub. Her actions were a clear violation of her own COVID mask mandate.
But the mayor remains defiant and attempted to justify her actions while also decrying the "fun police" who would dare to attempt to keep her accountable.
What happened?
Mayor Breed was caught on camera partying maskless and indoors with Black Lives Matter activists at the Black Cat Night Club last week.
Though Breed's own rules say masks are required indoors for all patrons — vaccinated or not — except when eating or drinking, photos and video show the mayor maskless while dancing and singing and no food or drinks in hand.
She attempted to tell the San Francisco Chronicle shortly after the scandal broke that she gets tested often and that every person at the event had to show proof of vaccination; however, such proof is irrelevant considering the mask rules apply to everyone regardless of vax status.
What is she saying now?
In an interview with KPIX-TV, the mayor did her best to do damage control and justify her mask violations — as well as go after the "fun police" who were harshing her mellow.
"I think it's sad that this is even a story," the mayor began.
She went on to say that people were ignoring the "monumental" nature of the gathering she was attending when she was openly violating her own mask rules: The original members of the Oakland R&B group Tony! Toni! Toné! who had not preformed together in public in more than 20 years had finally come together for a live performance.
