Her constituents should remember whe iy comes time to vote.

I have an idea. Open a hair and nail salon in a Home Depot since it appears there’s no limit on how much business they can do!

Omg really

Oh I thought she went for a face lift

um what’s the address of the salon?

We should lead by example. Any failures will make the rules vain. Part of roles of a good leader, visibility, adherence and compliance with all prevailing procedures.

It's astonishing how many people in political positions have been the biggest offenders violating orders.

Why is she apologizing? Neither rules nor laws apply to Republicans. They do their own thing, they make up their own rules.

Mayor Becky McKaren

what the hell is the nail salon doing open?

Was disappointed her name was not Karen, but Becky is also acceptable.

It was an emergency! :)

Is she stupid, vain, self serving or all 3? Vote now.

How much coverage did you give Chicago's mayor for getting her hair styled and cut during the lockdown?

The ultimate Karen

Texas governor takes heat from his right as he plots careful course on coronavirusGov. Greg Abbott is already plotting the state’s economy into 2021 but many of his fellow Republicans are seizing on a relatively low Covid-19 death toll to push for lifting his stay-home order. It's a nice ideal to reopen the economy... but if everybody else in the world is closed what Good is it.. In some ways the states that decided to reopen their states early are offering up their residents in an experiment. Will it be effective? What are the downsides?What was done right/wrong? Thanks for the sacrifice.
