No, they (rightly) attacked a journalist for doing suspiciously racist “reporting”.
There were lots of white people unmasked there. None of them were singled out.
Why?
Because they weren’t strong Black women. That’s why. Same exact reason Bowser is being attacked here on this forum.

The journalist says that she has video and that the mayor was unmasked even while not eating or drinking.
Okay, but the same journalist said she "officiated an indoor wedding" when it was actually an outdoor wedding. I think this is a tempest in a teapot. Bowser has done so much shady shit it seems like a waste of time to try to make a big deal out of a nothingburger.

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.
Journalistic ethics don’t prohibit journalists from crashing weddings. And if the people who got married didn’t want their wedding to stir up controversy, they probably shouldn’t have had the mayor officiate at an “indoor/outdoor” venue right after the mayor imposed a mask mandate. (Of course then they wouldn’t have gotten any prestige or cool points for having the mayor officiate.)
