Critics chide Virginia governor for mask-less beach visit

In this Saturday, May 23, 2020, photo, Gov. Ralph Northam and Tori Bloxom, of Onancock, Va., take a selfie as the governor visits the Oceanfront in Virginia Beach, Va., to see for himself how crowded the beach was. Northam has repeatedly urged Virginia residents to cover their faces in public during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Democrat didn’t heed his own plea when he posed mask-less for photographs alongside residents during the weekend beach visit.

A spokeswoman for the governor’s office said Sunday that Northam should have brought a face mask with him during his visit on Saturday to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, news outlets reported. Northam has suggested that he will announce a statewide policy on face coverings on Tuesday. At the beach on Saturday, the governor told reporters that his administration was still working on the details.

The Virginian-Pilot reported that Northam posed for a selfie with a woman who said she knows the governor. She gave him a pat on the shoulder.

Lying hypocritical liberal fascists! “Do as a command, not as I do!” That’s the liberal fascist mantra! LiberalSpread

GovernorVA How dumb are you? I'm a Dem and embarrassed. Not near as bad as your previous screw up, but Good Lord... Come on man.

More than urging. He stated that on Tuesday he will announce a statewide policy requiring wearing masks. This is yet another reason, among many, validating why he should not be Gov of Virginia.

Typical hypocrite Democrat

For the same reason they scream climate change and then buy coastal property.

Bahahaha!

hipocrisy Do you need further proof you are being controlled through fear mongering? An apology will not suffice.

At least he isn’t wearing black face 🤷🏻‍♂️

Let's just put it this way. If the pandemic was really pulling the numbers the MSM says, none of these people would be stepping one foot out the door. They don't think they are untouchable. They just know better.

His droplets are all over that phone. Nasty.

Does BLACK FACE Count as a mask

This bothers you you but him in a Klan outfit doesn’t? I can’t figure out the MSM
