"AOC tests positive for COVID-19 after partying in Miami maskless"

[rambot]

Then maybe she should just be quiet in the issue. She has nothimg more to say b cause she has lost all credibility.

Lol. Yeah.
You thought she had credibility before this I'm sure.

Given that disantis actively misrepresents/lies about COVID numbers in florida, should we be listening to him or so liars get a pass and hypocrites get the boot?

When Trump put on mask (that one time) to protect wounded vets, did you call him a hypocrite?

 

[Sparagmos]

So the CDC is cool with people congregating in large groups and hugging strangers?

Thanks for replying. I have no problem calling a Democrat a hypocrite but people on this thread have been very vague on the details.

I haven’t seen her hugging, can you point me to that? Not that I think it makes her a hypocrite because I’m not aware of her criticizing others for hugging …

But outdoors, there are no mask mandates and yes in my very liberal state people can congregate outdoors unmasked.

There is something telling in this thread huh. AOC was wrong.. shes said allot yet many times would not ware a mask. In this case should have. Thats it.. no what about so and so what about this or that So praying for her. That's it

Go look at the pictures. You can find them I'm sure. We've all seen them.

There's other photos too...it was some sort of Drag show going on, and she was doing quite a bit of mingling during the event.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

Be specific please. My state follows CDC guidelines and we do all of those things that AOC did. We don’t wear masks outside or seated at a restaurant.

Is this is accordance with CDC guidelines? Again, "rules for thee and not for me" seems to be the trend of democratic leaders.

 

[Pommer]

I have tested positive for covid today. 7 days of isolation now!

Good luck! Rest well!

 

[Lost4words]

Good luck! Rest well!

Thank you....
God bless

No we established having a beer isn't totalitarian. I don't recall that I ever used the word totalitarian.

My mistake, that was another user in post 89. Thanks for helping me refute it.

 

[ThatRobGuy]

No idea

Given the dominant one that's out there, likely Omicron

When you recover, don't forget to come by and pick up your cut...

 

[All Englands Skies]

I don't think there's much opportunity for that...she posted it on her own twitter feed

Although the last part, about her "encouraging everyone to follow all CDC guidelines" is a bit ironic, considering she was partying maskless at bars in Florida. (which means she wasn't following their guidelines)

Sort of a "do as I say, not as I do" sort of thing...

I am sick of politicians of all political leanings, constantly taking the moral high ground and demonising normal people for things only to then be caught out at some point.

These are the people who dictate right and wrong to us and its all rhetoric, they are all full of crap.

Politicians are all just actors on the stage, or more fittingly, clowns at the circus.

 

[Oompa Loompa]

Shouldn't be a problem for AOC -- she can work remotely for a week without breaking down into hysterical sobbing over "muh rights!"

" muh rights"?

 

[ThatRobGuy]

I find it difficult to take the charges of hypocrisy seriously from supporters of Donald "I voted for a president not a pastor" Trump.

What about those of us who didn't vote for him? lol.

I've been calling her a hypocrite in this thread...but I don't even disagree with what she did at a basic level.

I took a vacation to Florida in late October. I, like her, was a vaccinated person in their 30's, I don't have any kids or elderly people living in my house, don't have any comorbidities, and knew my net risk was low, so I opted to go somewhere where I could have some fun.

The difference is, I haven't been portraying DeSantis as the "merchant of death" for the last 6 months, and haven't been pushing for policies that would stopped other 30-somethings in my own locale from enjoying the kind of fun I had down in FL.

My stance has been pretty consistent on this one.

Get vaccinated, get boosted (when you're eligible), that's all you can feasibly do to reduce strain on the hospitals...beyond that, get out and life your life. I likely caught my case of Omicron in a grocery store while doing some mundane weekly grocery shopping (despite being vaccinated and boosted). It was mild, the vaccines did their job, I "did my time" staying home and isolating...I'm back out to visiting with friends again and doing the things I want to do. Flying down to Austin TX in 2 weeks actually.

When people have made the kinds of statements she's made, and supported the kinds of policies she's supported, she kind of boxed herself in a corner.

When you're a politician or person in the spotlight, while being idealistic may have it's perks in terms of "drawing a fan base", unless you can 100% commit to those ideals long-term, there's a benefit it being a little more moderated and pragmatic.

For instance, nobody would bash me if they saw me eating some mozzarella sticks at a restaurant. It would be an "egg on the face" moment for a high ranking member of PETA if they were spotted doing the same.

We are all hypocrites to one degree or another. You calling her a hypocrite I take no issue with. Frankly the rights obsession with her is a bit over the top. I think because she is someone they can easily demonize rather then her more moderate contemporaries.

That kind of ties into what I was saying about "if you don't think you can commit 100% to a rigid ideology, it's better to be moderate on that issue"

For instance, there wasn't as big of a fuss when Cory Booker caught covid. It's not that the right likes Cory any more than AOC...he's been a popular target of them on a variety of issues for some years now.

But they didn't go out of their way to show how he caught it, in fact, I don't know if anyone knows where he caught it from...there wasn't a lot of fanfare surrounding it.

every one is at it.

Politicians are hypocrites who talk in rhetoric, which ever side of the fence they sit, left or right. I am starting to think they're all a bit narcissistic, yet they all have their captive audiences.

Hmm.. not sure that I did. Unless he made the claim having a beer was totalitarian. Did he honestly make that claim?

I don't think it's it's just her that's the issue. It's the whole "we should have mask mandates, etc. Cause if we don't you are killing people" from people, who then turn around and do the exact opposite in their lives. She's not the only one that has been caught doing this. Look if she said I think we should all have a choice in the matter and I choose to wear a mask, we wouldn't have such an issue.

It's the ole, do as I say and not as I do thing.

It's crazy to me that some just don't see this. I do not understand at all.
