Although there are significant regional differences in the transmission of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), localities are beginning to consider reopening as cases are decreasing overall. While the tensions over lockdowns have become increasingly salient, some mayors aren’t practicing what they preach.

Social distancing measures have helped most metropolitan hospitals in this country avoid the crisis that occurred in Italy’s Lombardy region, where a surge of patients overwhelmed healthcare professionals but no thanks to these mayors.

Here’s who isn’t playing by the rules they’ve imposed on their constituents:

Mayor Becky Ames (Beaumont, Texas)

Someone photographed Mayor Ames marching into a nail salon in Beaumont in direct violation of Texas’ stay-at-home order. The order will expire on April 30, but don’t expect that to harken a return to normalcy. Governor Greg Abbott (R) said some businesses could begin reopening starting May 1 — at 25 percent capacity.

In the meantime, the mayor’s office issued an apology.

Lori Lightfoot (Chicago, Illinois)

Lightfoot sparked controversy when she arranged for a professional in-home haircut while simultaneously urging residents not to go outside for long runs or bicycle rides. Unlike Ames, Lightfoot vigorously defended the decision by claiming that personal hygiene was an integral part of doing her job well or something.

Close-contact businesses like nail salons and barbershops have been among the hardest hit economically by physical distancing guidelines as it’s impossible to maintain a six-foot distance between employees and customers. But Lightfoot didn’t appear to let that bother her. In footage that has since gone viral, neither Lightfoot nor her stylist wore any personal protective equipment.

Bill de Blasio (New York City)

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio and his wife took a stroll through Brooklyn’s Prospect Park Saturday in a possible contradiction of his “nonessential travel” decree, given the couple was 11 miles from their home. While they donned respiratory protective devices, de Blasio had little to say while he was being heckled.

    1. I looked hard. Could not find any place where anyone would say if she was a Democrat or Republican. Not all Republicans are honest. But most Democrats are cheats and dishonest. Look AT cLAY Jenkins in Dallas.

  1. The whole dam thing is
    A hoax courtesy o f OBUMER an the Dumbocrats.Obumer gave theWhuan Bio weapons lab 4 million dollars to weaponize the corona virus with bat blood

    1. The main goal is to destroy our economy. And they are doing that. First it was the FAKE Global warming and the Paris Accord which was to take billions from us and give it to nations who would continue to ramp up their CO2 production.
      That did not work. Trump figured it out.
      So now they ARE succeeding with the fake quarantines which they claim will stop the deaths of hundreds of thousands. What do we know now. We know that the ONLY places where they claim large numbers of deaths from corona are Democrat strongholds where they have been told to count ALL deaths as being from corona.
      Americans are now sick of the sham. We wee that the numbers of deaths is not greater than the deaths from FLU. And we see that if the Democrats had their way, the shut down would never end. The guy who wrote OBAMACARE is claiming that we need to shut the nation down for 18 months.
      Yes, that would destroy us and make us ready for the ONE WORLD ORDER to take over.
      God help us.

  2. Friends…..
    Don’t raise yr Blood Pressure, over TRASH……Yes..TRASH…..
    But, be, all-the-more, energized to come out with ALL THE FAMILY & FRIENDS & NEIGHBORS, COMING NOVEMBER 3RD. WE NEED THE PRESIDENCY, THE SENATE & THE HOUSE………
    That is the ONLY way, we can come out of this ECONOMIC PREDICAMENT…….

      1. You mean Susan Collins, 12% conservative. McConnell 28%, Cornyn 33%, Alexander 15%, Murkowski 22%, McSally 40% Isakson, 34%, Young 32%, Roberts 33%,
        I just found that the list I was using included previous senators. Most of them HOWEVER are current and are NOT conservative.
        These are worse than Democrats. they pretend to be good conservatives.
        God help them. God, please judge them NOW.

    1. That won’t help. The number of fraud votes in 2016 was 8 million. The 2018 election had even more as Republican strongholds were stolen. This election will be even worse. Did Pelosi get her MAIL IN BALLOTS like she tried to do in the SMALL BUSINESS BAILOUT? No one will say. You want to stop them stealing the election. OBEY II CHRONICLES 7:14.

  3. Yes I read Obama invested tax payer money $3.7 million in 2015. Next I read 2014. What is a fact is the virus was man made. It was traced to Wuhan, China. Another reason to take down news
    that is made up or shut down. How about printing the facts this is not a time for sensationalism. People should be sued for their slander.

    1. I bet you don’t care that Obama gave them the money so much as you are upset about the date. That is what a Democrat and a liberal and a Saul Alinsky guy would do. Are you a patriot or a Democrat socialist?

  4. Apples, peaches and pumpkin Pie for Dems., shitey and slums, filth and dirt for voters and workers who voted for them.

  5. Democrats use NEWSPEAK, from the novel 1984, for their definition of rules. All people are equal, only some are more equal. 2+2=5.

  6. The Beaumont Texas mayor’s apology letter should say “My heartfelt apology . . . . .. for getting caught. We all know I think that, as a mayor, I am a believer in DO AS I SAY, NOT DO AS I DO.”

  7. Apparently these (and other) mayors think the rules apply to everyone but them. To paraphrase an old story: “Rule 1. The Mayor is always right. Rule 2. If you have reason to believe the Mayor has done something wrong, refer to Rule 1.”

  8. As an avowed communst, de Blasio WOULD believe that he is just like the communist party in Russia. They are the ruling class and rules don’t apply to him. Just huge amounts of money. Anyone able to find out where he is hiding his. This sBarhays it all. When college kids, union members, sexual deviants, and welfare leaches are willing to give up their freedoms, destroy our nation with deficit spending and put such vile people in office, we are most certainly under God’s judgement.
    Just like Lot’s family, any true believers who are left will face the same judgement Just like Baruch, the secretary of Jeremiah, who thought he would be able to escape the judgement. so we are seeing the church of today, called LAODICEA.
