Oregon Gov. Kate Brown (D) was seen maskless at a Washington, D.C. gala over the weekend despite pushing for a "permanent" mask mandate in her own state.
Brown was a "featured guest" at the LGBTQ Victory Fund’s 30th anniversary gala in D.C. Saturday and was spotted without a mask, as seen in a photo posted to Twitter by an attendee.
And while the indoor mask mandate in D.C. was lifted last month by Mayor Muriel Bowser and virtually no other attendees were wearing a mask, Brown's appearance at the gala came just days after news broke that Oregon was considering a "permanent" face-covering requirement.
The Oregon Health Authority, which is part of Brown's administration, hosted the Rules Advisory Committee last week to discuss the possibility of implementing a "permanent indoor mask mandate.
Paul Cieslak, OHA's medical director for communicable diseases and immunizations, told local news outlet KATU that the potential "permanent" indoor mask mandate could be repealed in the future and thus, is not actually permanent.
"Permanent means indefinite. It doesn’t necessarily mean permanent," Cieslak said. "We can repeal it as well, but we are only allowed to have a temporary rule for 180 days, and anything that goes beyond 180 days, we cannot extend it."
This comes after OHA reinstated a mask mandate for large outdoor gatherings in August due to a spike in COVID-19 cases caused by the highly infectious delta variant.
The OHA reversed the outdoor mask mandate last month but an indoor mandate still remains. Oregon is one of just nine states to still have an indoor mask mandate.
Well, at least they’re not pretending it’s temporary anymore.
They planned to be “caught”. They are seeing how far they can go. After 20 or months, answer is “as much as they want”.
Some animals are more equal than others.
She's not starlet, yet no orca.
Definitely mentally deranged though.
*20 or so
They were just having a gay old time....
c’mon man....
Suggestion for the Gov...
.
If it weren’t for the corrupt Portland TV News Kate Brown would not be governor today.
Oh, how nice. She is married and openly bisexual.
Dumb question...she lives at the Oregon Gov. residence with her male husband and stepchildren but is “openly bisexual”??
She’s “openly trendy.” This is Oregon, after all.
This kind of thing makes me gladder I moved from Maryland to Florida. Imagine Maryland under a Democrat governor, which could happen in 2022:
“Today, Maryland imposed a permanent indoor mask mandate, as well as a permanent outdoor mask mandate in all public parks. The health law on which the mandate was based was recently passed by the Proud Woke Commie Legislooture and signed into law by Governor Brian Frosh.”
Kate should seek counseling, and perhaps psychotropic medication, for her neo-Marxist addiction to power.
At my age (54), I find her attractive. It’s the inside that’s utterly rancid.
Laws are for the little people.
She went maskless. So she must have spread Covid like a bandit. Do they have pictures of the stacks of body bags filled with people with whom she interacted?
Note the articles now detailing which people were near the Covid positive President Trump in 2020? Preposterous slander.
Maybe...but she’s no double-bagger.
Cute! But, she needs to raise it about 4 inches for the full clown face effect 🤡
