D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser’s (D) most recent mask mandate, which orders three-year-olds to cover their faces, exempts lawmakers and government employees while they are “on duty.”
Bowser issued the order Wednesday, mandating everyone over the age of two wear a mask in both indoor and outdoor settings.
“Under the new Mayor’s Order on masks, people must wear a mask when they leave their homes if they are likely to come into contact with another person for more than a fleeting moment,” the mayor’s office states.
While masking mandates across the nation, and in D.C., typically contain several exceptions — exempting the disabled, those who are actively eating, drinking, and people who are “vigorously” exercising — a closer look at Bowser’s executive action shows that the order does not apply to lawmakers, judges, or government employees while they are “on duty.”
“The enforcement provisions of this Order shall not be applied to persons in the judicial or legislative branches of the District government while those persons are on duty; and shall not apply to any employees of the federal government while they are on duty,” the order states.
The Metropolitan Police Department is authorized to enforce the order on all of those ages 18 and older. Violators can be fined up to $1,000.
The mayor’s mask mandate is in effect until at least October 9, 2020.
Bowser’s order comes as officials in both state and local government positions ramp up their enforcement of mask mandates. Florida’s Miami-Dade County, for example, has dedicated a small unit of over three dozen officers to enforce the county’s mask mandate. First, second, and third-time violators can face fines of $50, $100, and $500, respectively. After that, the individual can face jail time.

And those that don’t want to wear one; OTOH citizens, you will comply.
So how does a hypocrite deal with getting called out for not wearing a mask? She doubles down and exempts herself.
It’s for the Little Peoples own good
Because EVERYBODY know that our government ‘betters’ are incapable of contracting and spreading anything that could harm their “Subjects”
It’s way past time.
WHAT???
I really don’t believe this. After all that has happened and they have the nerve???
/s
All VA employees MUST wear masks all the time while they are on duty
I’m sick of the good enough for thee but not for me mentality.
Of course. They always exempt themselves from what they inflict on us.
Their aim is to control us while living the life of freedom they deny us.
Regular tax paying citizens are not permitted to enter municipal government buildings.
We are all little people to our embedded gov-co betters.
Such a smart virus. It knows not it infect goverment employees.
You know what?
People are critical of Trump wearing the mask but IMO, it’s his genius showing again.
He’s not asking us to do something he won’t do himself.
While the dems are deliberately tightening the screws and exempting themselves, like they are our elites and betters, Trump is NOT doing that.
A very strategic move, if you ask me.
So now he can’t be accused by the left/msm of that kind of hypocrisy, while he can point to the left and expose it.
Funny. Congress is the largest geriatric facility in the country. I’m surprised not one of them has died from coronavirus.
And EVERYTHING about robocall laws, EXEMPT THE POLITICIANS.
Get ready for the DON’T ANSWER THE PHONE TIME until November 3rd.
If the number isn’t on my contact list, I don’t answer it.
It goes to voice mail if they want to leave a message and 90% of the times it’s still a robocall.
