PHILADELPHIA (WPVI) -- Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney is apologizing after a photo showed him dining indoors at a restaurant in Maryland even as indoor dining in his city remains banned.

The COVID-19 pandemic has forced some city businesses to close and others struggling to stay afloat with outdoor dining.

The mayor's office confirmed that he went to a friend's restaurant on Sunday. The photo went viral by Sunday night.

Kenney issued the apology in pair of tweets posted Monday afternoon.

"I felt the risk was low because the county I visited has had fewer than 800 COVID-19 cases, compared to over 33,000 cases in Philadelphia," Kenney tweeted. "Regardless, I understand the frustration."

"I'm sorry if my decision hurt those who've worked to keep their businesses going under difficult circumstances," he continued.

Jeeze, these people are acting like mafia, but without ANY rules effecting themselves. This is a glaring example of how socialist control always works.

What an ass.

If you hold a position on a subject while in power to create laws enforcing that opinion then live it...

He may have been exposed in Philadelphia and is transmitting the virus out of town.

Mayor Kenney. A “man NOT FOR THE PEOPLE”.

Start a recall movement NOW. Keep the pressure on this leftist coward and pink turd.

Time for Philadelphians to take matters into their own hands and unelect this POS.

Rizzo? Where are you now that we need you? Dead? Not an excuse. Come back and teach these leftist what real law and order looks like. I remember it back when I lived in Philly in the early-mid 60’s.

If they don’t vote him out at the next opportunity, they’re saying they really think it’s all fine.

He brought the plague to that restaurant.
He owes restitution to everyone who was in that restaurant at the time, and 48 hours later
