While Muriel Bowser forces Washington, D.C.’s children to mask up in school for eight hours a day and subject businesses to an onerous indoor mask mandate, the mayor has flouted her decree for a third time.

I had hoped that posting a photo of Bowser violating her own mandate at an indoor wedding reception not 24 hours into her ban going into effect would force the mayor to reconsider, but instead, she lied, claiming that she was actively eating and drinking while smearing me as a “right-wing hack” and an anti-vaxxer in the process. I had hoped that posting the video confirming that Bowser had gotten caught and then lied about it would force her to have a little humility, but instead, she publicly posted a photo from yet another event featuring her flouting the rules.
