Denver Mayor Asks People To Forgive Decision ‘Borne Of My Heart’ After Ignoring His Own COVID-19 Guidelines
Another arrogant politician acting hypocritical …
Democratic Denver Mayor Michael Hancock apologized after going against his own coronavirus guidelines by traveling for the Thanksgiving holiday.
Hancock called on the citizens of his city to stay home for Thanksgiving, avoiding any unnecessary travel and hosting virtual gatherings in place of traditional, in-person meals.
He urged them to “pass the potatoes, not COVID” in a tweet posted just 30 minutes before he boarded a plane to visit his daughter, who had taken a job out of state.
Pass the potatoes, not COVID.
— Michael B. Hancock (@MayorHancock) November 25, 2020Stay home as much as you can, especially if you're sick. Host virtual gatherings instead of in-person dinners. Avoid travel, if you can. Order your holiday meal from a local eatery. Shop online with a small business for #BlackFriday. pic.twitter.com/acQpWs2Ism
