A mayor in Illinois pleaded with residents last week to follow the state's stay at home order. After officers reported that people were continuing to defy the rules, the mayor said he had directed the city's police department to use its discretion in issuing citations and arrests.
"These are very serious times and I'm begging you to please stay at home," Brant Walker, mayor of Alton, Illinois, said in a briefing on Friday.Less than 48 hours later, police broke up a gathering at Hiram's Tavern in downtown Alton. Among those in attendance: Walker's wife.Walker announced in a statement on Monday that police had investigated and stopped a social gathering in violation of Illinois' statewide order around 1 a.m. on Sunday.

Mama Mia!
Mama!
You still haven't reported on the MAYOR of Chicago going out and getting her hair done CNN!
Oh oh....
Good for him on account of applying the rules equally. Well done.
Ruh roh!!
Lololol
🤣🤣🍹
That’ll leave a mark
I bet she was cheating on him. Wicked convenient.
This is probably the 10th time you have posted this CNN
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Oops...... lock her up! See if she infects the entire booking facility. That will teach him.
Hmm.
Rules count for everyone, especially when you endanger the lives of others.
I read this very differently the first time around 😂
Mayor and hiswife should apologize rise lock his wife up..
Those who make laws break laws...very unfortunate.
From my hometown, the corrupt and failing Brant Walker is headed down a slippery slope. If he can’t get a grip on his failing marriage, how is he supposed to run our town?
I thought I didn't need to see his face, until I saw his face. I don't say this often, but : thank you, CNN.
😂😂
Realy
Do as I say not as I do? Lol
Xadeejournalist first I thought it's you in the picture 🙂
Nope. He knew.
Why wasn’t Mrs Mayor fired in jail for not self isolating?
This looks like FUNKE akindele aka Jennifer story in Lagos.
Massive Ls to this man 😩
🤣🤣🤣🤪😂
Cuff her up🤷♀️
Democrat 😉
😳
wow thats funny
Sounds about right. He has no clue how to handle this at all.
I betcha they didn't go in Chicago and break of the 'hood'.
amofalar
AMErikaNGIRLLL CNN is junk!!!
Wifey is like 'you ain't the boss of me'
😂
Where was the mayor ?
Don't see the problem here
Wait! 1am? How did he not know his wife wasn’t at home? 🤦🏼🤦🏼 and where was he?
CLASSIC.
Well something had to give.
You see the shit we have to deal with?
Bet it qent somthing like this.
LMAO ummm what 🤣 The police informed him his wife was there? At 1 am? They in a fight or something?
Oops.....awkward
the only reason a party name is not on that headline is because he is a Democrat. Lol
I wonder if she was there alone or.....
Of course. Do as they say, not as they do.
The Windy City
Remove the mayor!
😂😂😂 I trust the law would take its course. No sacred cow
Rock of Ages/Patricia Whitmore...? Apparently you *can* make this shit up, but only in a comedy musical subplot.
And thus we learn, Charity begins at home
Omg. My birth town. Alton a Memorial blocks form the steps of the Lincoln Douglas Debate, a Civil War confederate prison and the Mississppi River. Come on Alton.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Is this you Xadeejournalist
lmao
Oops.
LMAO. The mayors wife?! Wowwwwwwww
illinois lol
liberalhypocrisy thanks for exposing them, CNN! LOL
😱🤭🤭🤣
Good, means the mayor's wife isn't above the law. Mayor shouldn't catch flak for this unless he defends her actions
Maybe that's why he ordered it. He knew she'd be there. 🤣
The good ol’ entitlement motto. Do as I say not as I do. Great leadership.
😂😂😂
Chris Cuomo
AprilDRyan Someone didn't get the memo.

AprilDRyan Uh oh....hate to see what's going to happen to her behind closed doors. Hope she is not injured by him. But she should receive a citation and/or be arrested.
AprilDRyan the immortal words of Socrates who said... I drank what?
“Lock them up”!!!
Oh wow
So let me get this straight....we are releasing prisoners to reduce the over crowding during the pandemic...but replacing them with ppl grocery shopping?!?!?
AprilDRyan Can’t make this sh-t up! 😂
AprilDRyan He probably knew she was gonna be there🤫
That’s Illinois in a nutshell!
Lol
AprilDRyan
🤔
How can he do this when the State doesn't likely have regulations that are that tight? I thought State Law reigns supreme?
AprilDRyan Bet he had to turn the heat up in the house that night!
Now do Mayor Lightfoot of Chicago.
😂😂😂
SethAbramson Oops
😂😂😂😂Funnny🤗🤗
Jesus Christ
SethAbramson Is this a photo of the mayor or his wife?
CNN not mentioning party affiliation in a bad news headline only means he is a Democrat. Just one of the many ways to identify how little integrity FakeNews holds as an organization.
keep defying these police state tactics!!!!!
Own goal!! Hahaha
tweet if he was a republican figure: REPUBLICAN Mayor issues arrest order for defiance of stay at home laws. Then REPUBLICAN Mayor's wife was found at party. REPUBLICAN doesn't return calls for comment. remains on this story of REPUBLICAN'S wife breaking the law.
SethAbramson Maybe that’s why he asked the police to intervene in the first place.
This is interesting
All while they’re letting convicted criminals out...what a joke
Seriously....... Good Lord.....
SethAbramson Hahahahaha hahahahaha!
We suck at this
Good for thee but not for me!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
winsorharmon Was he a Democrat? C’mon, just say it.
Ooops
SethAbramson Might not be the last time he needs police help for a domestic problem.
SethAbramson Will she be his future ex wife?
Lol hypocrites at its finest
SethAbramson Damn. “Gee, that’s too bad” as Trump would say.
The thing is everywhere
That’s funny
the mayor's wife with his boyfriend loll.
Karma is a beeootch!
😂😂😂😂making laws n the better half breaks the same law...
Hilarious
Mayor's wife is looking for bigger longness in pants
LightfootForChi
Classic case of RDA, rules don't apply
now you know why he wanted it stopped
😆😆😆
Whoops....
That could lead to marital discord.
Am I reading it right!!? 🙆♀️
That was so embarrassing!
Great job by the Mayor, glad he treated his wife like a regular criminal
This would be funny if this wasn’t a worldwide pandemic... COME ON PEOPLE 🤦🏾♀️
That’s what is so funny here. We are adamant about the rules and then someone close ignores them. Ignorance is more contagious than COVID-19 and there will never be a cure for that.
Do as I say but not what I do huh?
LOL, what a dumbSS!
😂😂
Atalijua jiji!
