When the coronavirus first started making its rounds, it, indeed, caused massive confusion and chaos with seemingly no one being on the same page. To add to that confusion, we have the very political leaders who were relaying these rules and guidelines, not following it themselves. Creating a double-standard and making the public worldwide wonder why those in specific positions were allowed to do the very thing they announced was not allowed.
Nancy Pelosi was called out on this after being caught at a hair salon (which was allegedly shutdown and only opened to take care of her, personally – since there was an outdoor mandate only) and walking around without a mask covering her mouth even though there was a mask mandate in that city during the time, in which “the average citizen” could be fined for not following the policy.
There is a lot of debate and “she-said / she-said” (if these gender-terms are still allowed… which we will sort of address in the next section) between Nancy Pelosi and the hair salon owner, Erica Kious. But seeing as how Erica herself stated, “It was a slap in the face that she went in, you know, that she feels that she can just go and get her stuff done while no one else can go in, and I can’t work,” Kious said. “We’re supposed to look up to this woman, right?“.
And when you add into that the other numerous accounts of government officials that are defying these mandates that THEY THEMSELVES ordered (whether at the behest of other higher mandates or not…) and this emotional and heartbreaking plea from Angela Marsden (one of many) that echoes Erica Kious’ sentiments, it would not be a stretch to “presume” who may be at fault here.
