San Jose’s Democrat Mayor Sam Liccardo has issued an apology after he failed to take his own advice and celebrated Thanksgiving with people outside of his immediate household, despite urging residents to “cancel the big gatherings” amid the coronavirus pandemic.
In his apology, Liccardo said his Thanksgiving arrangement with his family was “contrary to the rules” established by the state.
“In summary, eight of us representing five households sat around three distanced tables in our own family groups on the back patio, and we wore masks when not eating,” Liccardo wrote in a lengthy statement. “I have a very large family—I am one of five children—and several of our family members who would have joined us for Thanksgiving in the past—including sisters, nephews, nieces and cousins—stayed home out of caution.”
“I apologize for my decision to gather contrary to state rules by attending this Thanksgiving meal with my family,” he added. “I understand my obligation as a public official to provide exemplary compliance with the public health orders, and certainly not to ignore them. I commit to do better.”
The NBC Bay Area Investigative Unit reported Tuesday that Liccardo broke county health protocols and spent the holiday with “his elderly parents at their Saratoga home with an unknown number of other guests.”
The anti-Trump mayor’s press team said that Liccardo would spend the holiday “staying home,” yet his office later claimed that the spokesperson “misspoke” and confirmed that he spent the holiday at his parents’ home.

Fine the ben zona and toss the mayor in prison
I'll bet every word of that is a lie, including the word "the".
The guy sounds like he probably ate cock for thanksgiving. Such a lady boy fag. Getting sick of the seperate rules
Well, it’s all ok now that he apologized.
Just another sociopath politician who (by definition) is also a shameless congenital liar.
If these “public officials” had any human decency they would resign in disgrace—but they are Democrats so that will _never_ happen.
I grew up in San Jose. Almost every single politician there is from Old San Jose money. Including this guy.

They break the rules,get caught and say they are sorry..Why not do it ,too??We can all break the rules ,say dems do it ans then we say sorrrrry.....
Fourteen day quarantine at home, no contact with ANYONE for ANY reason. Forced holiday from all responsibilities.
Never any penalties or consequences of any meaning for the elites.
Saying words is nothing.
Better to beg forgiveness than ask for permission...
Scumbag politicians, I mean, democrats...
Like apologizing just makes everything OK....
The forgiving sheep in this world approve.
Come Christmas, he’l do it again, then apologize again.
“the spokesperson “misspoke” .
That’s politispeak for he lied his ass off.
They all know this is BS.
This crap has been going on for so long, how have we allowed this kind of miserable pieces of filth to walk amongst us. What would real patriots have done, any idea’s. We need full time patriots to take a stand against these criminal’s, the DOJ will do nothing, because they are the Dept. of Just-us.
“apologize again”
ad nauseam
They are never held to account and rarely get thrown out of office.
Time to Resign
