She announced that everyone must wear masks indoors, and then within hours was spotted INDOORS at a wedding reception without a mask, along with the other guests. Rules for thee but not for me. Governor Newsome was the same way, with his fancy dinner without a mask.

Such hypocrites!

As the one who instituted the mask mandate it would be nice if she followed the mask mandate. I know crazy right?

This story is uninteresting from start to finish. I guess Bowser should be subject to the same consequences as everyone else who violates the mask mandate: nothing whatsoever. A "mandate" with no enforcement mechanism is intended to influence behavior by establishing a public standard; it's not actually a rule.

Hmmmm. That really doesn't look like a patio. Not the other guests not wearing masks including the one on the left who looks like he is sleeping. Not eating or drinking.

If it happened, it happened. Motivation is unimportant.

I think it's great that someone is willing to challenge politicians again. Pols have been enjoying a free ride by liberal corporate media for years.

Truth to power => Go Girl!

The whole thing is dumb. Really dumb

So what if she wasn't invited? Does that mean she shouldn't report on it?

If seems as if the Washingtonian is attempting to come to the defense of Bowser, which is interesting.

And one last question.......
The mask mandate states that you don't need to wear a mask if you are eating or drinking.
Does research show that the virus cannot be passed to others while someone is eating or drinking? I have never understood why masks are required indoors at restaurants (like walking to tables), but can be removed if eating or drinking.

If Washingtonian were "attempting to come to the defense of Bowser," would they have covered this at all?

Washingtonian is protecting its relationship with the Mayor’s office and their access. No surprise that Media Inc would do that.

But the WT reporter was still wrong and trashy - she invaded someone’s wedding, caused a scene with security, and now the couple will remember the media brouhaha instead of their nice wedding day. The WT reporter broke journalistic ethics, if she had any to begin with.

They had an unmasked wedding during a pandemic.

It’s not as bad as the wedding that killed RBG, but any infamy to it is fine.

The mayor pisses me off sometimes, but this “investigation” by the WT correspondant is just tacky & reeks of rightwing striving. She crashed a private wedding! Not cool.

+1 I am not a Bowser fan by any stretch of the imagination but this is a reach. The wedding was outdoors. The reception was essentially on a patio. It was reported initially very differently than these pictures demonstrate, and Washington Times is a rag. I think it would be worth it to crash a wedding to catch a politician violating their own mask mandate, but this hasn't actually been shown. It's like that's what the journalist wanted to find, so that's how they pitched the story, and then when the event was outdoors they just said "well I have a couple of pics of her with her mask down indoors where you can't tell she's got a drink, so let's run with it anyway."

If the venue has an indoor portion, then you are supposed to wear a mask when not eating or drinking while in that portion of the venue, according to the mayor’s own mandate. It doesn’t matter that there is also an outdoor part of the facility.

I love that your concern is that someone’s wedding was crashed lol. (Did the movie with Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn send you into a rage?)
