"I Humbly Ask For Your Forgiveness" - Yet Another Democrat Leader Busted Breaking His Own COVID Rules Tyler Durden Thu, 11/26/2020 - 10:50
Update (1330ET): In standard Democrat crisis management mode, the mayor drafted a virtue-signaling statement asking for the peasantry of Denver to forgive him: (emphasis ours)
I fully acknowledge that I have urged everyone to stay home and avoid unnecessary travel. I have shared how my family cancelled our plans for our traditional multi-household Thanksgiving celebration.
What I did not share, but should have, is that my wife and my daughter have been in Mississippi, where my daughter recently took a job. As the holiday approached, I decided it would be safer for me to travel to see them than to have two family members travel back to Denver.
I recognize that my decision has disappointed many who believe it would have been better to spend Thanksgiving alone. As a public official, whose conduct is rightly scrutinized for the message it sends to others...
...I apologize to the residents of Denver who see my decision as conflicting with the guidance to stay at home for all but essential travel.
I made my decision as a husband and father, and for those who are angry and disappointed, I humbly ask you to forgive decisions that are borne of my heart and not my head.
The damage was done, however...

How can you be a leader & not get how wrong this is? This is the selfishness that keeps us in this mess & it's an insult to everyone sacrificing for the greater good. https://t.co/oUk7Eknpwd
I don’t usually jump in when people are apologizing to say “not good enough” but this is a typical “I’m sorry you feel that way.” He’s not sorry he did it, he’s sorry he got caught. https://t.co/oEcIygCVi8

So you want special treatment for *your* family but everyone else is supposed to sacrifice time with theirs. https://t.co/H4m5mOHVeB

Congress should pass a law that if any gov't official violates their own COVID rules those rules get immediately invalidated.

Additionally any citizen who got fined for not following an order should be refunded.
RT if you want those who implement the "rules" to follow them! https://t.co/BKs4ur6tnA
This has got to be one of the lamest, worst, poor excuses of a statement any politician caught with his hand in the cookie jar has ever issued. https://t.co/oUoYcDrDu8

Every small business in Denver that’s been closed should fully reopen right now and say their decision to was made of their heart, not their head. https://t.co/zsMyFnYQzQ

Sorry, no forgiveness here @MayorHancock. No amount of rationalization on your part excuses you're hypocrisy. If you were truly sorry you'd rent a car and come home. But I doubt you have the cojones to do that. Your apology rings hollow. https://t.co/2xwLC2r2qt

Everyone who has ever been married knows the difference between “I’m sorry.” And “I’m sorry you’re upset.” https://t.co/L6e1jGSXKY

What an entitled pompous ass. Just prior to his flight he tweeted that people should avoid travel. https://t.co/8O2jZxKBjX

Democrats impose insane #COVID19 rules.

Expect regular Americans to obey without question.
Then don’t follow the rules themselves. https://t.co/d0ej0nYVVQ
The mayor of Denver is traveling to Mississippi to visit his daughter after urging everyone not to travel for Thanksgiving. This thread boils down to, "I said we all need to sacrifice, but by 'we' I meant 'you'." https://t.co/9NAls2rY1p

So, as a reminder of the dissonant hypocrisy demanded of the left, we should forgive him his sins "borne of his heart" ('do as I say, not as I do') while we 'cancel' anyone immediately and forever who thinks white lives matter as much as black lives, anyone who questions the 'fact' that boys can be girls if they just think that way, anyone who dares to argue with the efficacy of mask-wearing, oh, and anyone who voted for President Trump.
Perhaps Mayor Hancock needs to visit a "re-education camp."

As Summit News' Steve Watson detailed earlier, the Democratic Mayor of Denver was caught violating his own COVID travel ordinance, getting on a plane to see family just 30 minutes after decreeing that people should not travel to visit their own relatives.
Pass the potatoes, not COVID.

🏘️Stay home as much as you can, especially if you're sick.

“Pass the potatoes, not COVID,” Denver Mayor Michael Hancock tweeted Wednesday, adding “Stay home as much as you can, especially if you’re sick. Host virtual gatherings instead of in-person dinners.”
“Avoid travel, if you can,” the tweet also stated, continuing “Order your holiday meal from a local eatery. Shop online with a small business for Black Friday.”
Half an hour after the tweet was sent out, Hancock was spotted boarding a flight to Houston.

The incident adds to the growing list of Democrats who have been caught breaking their own decrees on covid:
And Newsom, Pelosi, Cuomo ... hypocrisy from politicians who claim to trust the science isn't helping to strengthen dire public health messages /pleas from medical professionals and frontline workers.

Just infuriating. https://t.co/haNs3QVnU7
Gavin Newsom wants us suicidal in our bedroom praying to have a familial thanksgiving meal, while the California Governor is caught openly and overtly ignoring his own rules.
For all these petty tyrants, there is only one rule: "obey!"
