BIRX traveled over Thanksgiving weekend after warning Americans to limit celebrations

White House coronavirus response coordinator Deborah Birx traveled to her Delaware vacation home during the Thanksgiving weekend despite advising people to celebrate the holiday with only those in their immediate household.

The Associated Press reported that Birx traveled with family members from two other households. Birx told the AP in a statement the purpose of the trip was to winterize the property before an upcoming sale.

“I did not go to Delaware for the purpose of celebrating Thanksgiving,” Birx said, adding that her family shared a meal while in Delaware.

Birx said that all of the gathered family members belonged to her "immediate household" but also said they lived in two different homes.

According to federal guidelines, Birx's role makes her an "essential worker." Her position requires her to travel across the country, and she has visited 43 states, often at coronavirus hot spots, the AP reported. She also maintains an office at the White House, where several COVID-19 outbreaks have occurred.

Birx has stated that she keeps herself and her family safe through isolating, mask-wearing and regular testing.

She is among the lawmakers and officials who have been criticized for traveling or dining out despite sending similar warnings to people to stay at home.

Another liberal elite hypocrite who makes rules for others but doesn’t listen to her own advice...

And they wonder why people are pushing back against all this nonsense...

Both Scarf and Fauxi have the blood of thousands on their hands, not to mention the thousands of businesses destroyed.
Both should be classified as dangerous domestic terrorists and whisked off to GITMO...never to be seen or heard from again.

“Birx said that all of the gathered family members belonged to her “immediate household” but also said they lived in two different homes.”

Birx also said she got the family cat from a guy named Schrödinger.

No, really?! Does anyone wonder why Birx, Fauci, Newsome, Lightfoot, et al, aren’t as scared as they want us to be...?

all the various border restrictions in Australia have finally achieved...CHAOS. have heard dozens of stories today that should have been included in the following, which has some pics of the traffic piled up, and at present is not behind paywall:

Good thing the Rona can't infect rich people winterizing their vacation homes, or sharing a meal with extended family while gathered under the auspices of winterizing a vacation home.

And the meal probably just “happened” to be turkey. Purely coincidental.

It’s not the hypocrisy, but the signal they send when ignoring their own dictates. THEY KNOW ITS ALL A FRAUD. The masks, the “cases”, the severity, the lockdowns...all of it.

They know there is little to no danger of catching an infection with or without masks. They are telling citizens how serious this is not.

It’s beyond “rules for theee, but not for me”—which is bad enough—but their actions say “this is all a fraud”.

Of course. All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

The elites love the lockdowns - which they ignore even more blatantly than actual laws. The lockdowns keep the little people off the street and generally out of their way.

This how you know it’s a farce like climate change. Covid is real, the climate is always changing, but the fear mongering surrounding both is purely a political tool.

Yeah, right. I “winterize” my lake house by turning the water off at the meter and turning the thermostat to 50. By myself. Took me longer to say it than to do it.
