Lt. Governor Fairfax caught violating state lockdown measures
The very leaders claiming these restrictions are for our safety don't actually buy the garbage they're selling us.
| Rules for thee, but not for me. It seems to be a common theme among American politicians when it comes to coronavirus restrictions. Whether it's Nancy Pelosi getting her hair done maskless or the mayor of Philadelphia dining indoors (as he bans indoor dining), politicians demonstrate that they don't actually buy into the fearmongering they're selling the American people. Case in point: Lt. Governor Justin Fairfax. Earlier this week, Fairfax and former Governor Terry McAuliffe were caught protesting in Portsmouth alongside 150 demonstrators, despite Governor Northam restricting gatherings in the Hampton Roads area to 50 back in July. The hypocrisy of Fairfax not only shows his disregard for rules everyday Virginians must follow, but it also goes against everything he himself has argued for throughout the pandemic. In a March letter to Governor Northam, Fairfax argued for “much bolder and swifter” lockdown measures. One of the actions Fairfax advocated for was a mandate to ban all public mass gatherings. Whether it's Fairfax or Pelosi, the reality is becoming ever more clear: the very leaders claiming these restrictions are for our safety don't actually buy the garbage they're selling us. These restrictions and lockdown measures aren't for our safety. They're merely tools of fear to allow politicians and government bureaucrats to further rob liberty from the American public. It's time the American people stand up and return to an era of self-governance. No longer can we rely on government officials to dictate every aspect of our lives, especially when those same officials don't even bother following these rules in the first place. # | PETITION_WIDGET{petition_tag:;coalition_id:;anedot_url:} | # |
