This is beyond offensive to every NYer who experienced the hell that was March, April and May. To allow people to mingle indoors, in close proximity, without masks on at a large party! And the people wo didn't think twice about it! https://t.co/gRW4KLluZT

Rules for thee, not for me.
Via NY Times:
As Democratic leaders in New York institute more stringent restrictions to combat the coronavirus and urge people to follow them, one group of local Democratic power brokers did not seem to get the message.
At a birthday party last weekend for Carlo Scissura, president of the New York Building Congress, an influential trade organization, some leaders sipped drinks, rubbed shoulders and rarely wore masks.
Photos that surfaced this week from the event, held last Saturday at a private residence in Brooklyn, according to an official familiar with the gathering, prompted cries of hypocrisy, calls for resignations and, eventually, a round of apologies on Friday.
