Dems’ shameless, pointless Ground Zero act

What pure, infuriating, blatant hypocrisy. 

At the 20th anniversary memorial for 9/11, top Democratic politicians all wore masks for a photo op. Then, as soon as the television cameras were off, the masks came off. Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand and Gov. Kathy Hochul are masked one minute, unmasked and talking the next. Speaker Nancy Pelosi has hers off. 

President Biden even pulls his mask down to yell at someone. The idiocy.

Every one of these people is vaccinated. They don’t need to wear masks — that’s the point of vaccines. They know this is stupid. But they insist on doing this performative COVID-19 dance so that they can keep mask mandates nationwide in our stores, our theaters, our schools. 

Liberal commentators and politicians don’t understand why so many distrust them. It’s because Americans have seen more than a year of “Don’t go out in groups, but anti-cop marches are OK,” “Don’t go out, but I’m going to my hairdresser or French Laundry” and “I wouldn’t take a Donald Trump vaccine, but now that he’s out of office, take the vaccine.” 

You, Biden and Pelosi, have done this to yourselves.
