Many elected officials have been accused of hypocrisy throughout the pandemic for ignoring COVID-19 recommendations by traveling and attending large gatherings.

"Ladies and Gentlemen here's your speaker of the house enjoying a party after she tells you you can't have social gatherings," reads the text above a photo of Pelosi gathered around people without a mask.

A reverse Google image search reveals that the photo was taken on Jan. 7, weeks before the U.S. confirmed the nation's first case of the novel coronavirus.

Anna Spiegel, food editor of the Washingtonian magazine, posted the image to Twitter that day and wrote, "Nancy Pelosi at Danny Meyer's Maialino Mare opening in Navy Yard" adding that the House Speaker was there "for all of 10 minutes."

1. The right wing loves playing victim so much they even make up shit

to indulge their feelings of victimhood.

2. KR!

3. And the thing is, what difference does that even make as far as YOU using a mask or SDing?

Democrats don't wear our masks simply because Trump doesn't. We do it because its the sensible thing to do in a pandemic. And to protect each other.

So why do they equate one instance, even if it was truly from this year, of Nancy sans mask, to mean...nah nah nah, nah nah....we don't have to either then!

Its NOT A POLITICAL ACTION! Its a public safety action.

But I'm talking to the choir. Still gets me evey time their utter callous stupidity.

4. There's a new one going around now...

Claiming Pelosi got her covid vaccine shot with the cap still on the needle. Just completely absurd, but they believe that crap because they’re so focused on hating the left.

6. So that's where the time machine went!

The one the Kenyans used to plant birth notices in Honolulu papers back in 1961. I thought Hillary had it

7. Yeah, their side openly flouts all mask mandates on camera all the time,

then makes up fake floutings by our side, and gets 'outraged' about them.
