Many Democratic lawmakers who were caught violating their own COVID-19 restrictions have attempted to explain away their actions in public apologies.

The Daily Caller News Foundation has compiled lists of politicians or local lawmakers who spurned their own COVID-19 masking and social distancing rules — such as Democrats New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, New York City Mayor Bill DeBlasio, D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser, and many more.

Gavin Newsom: ‘I Made A Bad Mistake’

Lori Lightfoot: Takes ‘Personal Hygiene Very Seriously’

Ralph Northam: ‘I Wasn’t Prepared To Talk To The Public’

I stopped wearing a mask and social distancing early on. I could see this was not the black plague. And when forced to wear a mask or get kicked out of the grocery store, I acquired a mask with breathing holes.

Members of this political party are Democrats. And thank you Rush Limbaugh for teaching us the difference.

Similar here. I have a beard, those silly assed masks don’t work, only a well made respirator mask will seal properly.

The democrats knew they were untouchable. The excuses were just a technicality, for the lowly masses to be pacified.

Governor 'Nursing Home Killer (NHK)' Cuomo broke his own diktat when he refused to quarantine after returning from Georgia.

He also marched with rioters in defiance of his own diktat against public gatherings. Mayor Kaiser Wilhelm Deblasio did the same.

Nanzi Pelosi got her hair styled in a CLOSED salon despite an order closing all of them in her district.
