San Jose’s Democrat Mayor Apologizes After He Ignored Coronavirus Guidelines
Breitbart ^ | 1 Dec 2020 | KYLE MORRIS

Posted on 12/01/2020 5:40:20 PM PST by conservative98

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.

I'll bet every word of that is a lie, including the word "the".

If these “public officials” had any human decency they would resign in disgrace—but they are Democrats so that will _never_ happen.

Never any penalties or consequences of any meaning for the elites.

Saying words is nothing.

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.
