Democrat Who Featured In Infamous 'Maskless Flight' Pic Calls For 'Universal Mask-Wearing'
2021-07-22
[ZERO] Democrat Texas state Rep. Donna Howard, who appeared in the now infamous photo of maskless Dem lawmakers on a private jet, faced ridicule after she called for "universal mask-wearing.

Howard was one of 60 Texas Democrats who boarded a jet to Washington, D.C., to skip out on a vote on Texas’ election reform bill. A photo of the plane cabin shows Howard and several other passengers not wearing masks.

Following the trip, where they met with U.S. officials, Howard along with 5 of her colleagues tested positive for COVID-19.

She subsequently tried to deflect criticism by remarking, "TSA exempts private, non-commercial flights from the mask requirement."

"Unfortunately, the spike in infections from the delta variant became apparent immediately after our flight," Howard continued.

"Had we known at the time, we would have worn masks."

Now Howard is facing more mockery after she vehemently called for schoolchildren to be forced to wear masks in class.

#14  Unknown.

I can go to the grocery store here in BFE, grab an orange, and it can be traced back to the fuggin tree it was picked from.

Cross that with employment records, and that can narrow down to a very reasonable number of who picked that orange.

#11  Democrats: stay in your bedroom with a face wrap and eat door to door crap food until you gain 50 pounds. Except grandma, we'll have felons who are carriers, or is it carriers who are felons, we'll have them take care of her.

Now, off to French Laundry $10million im monorail funds.

#10  That first requires a democrat giving positive advice, as they make their success on failures. Second, it would come with an "or else".

These people make millions off of insider trading and information; the only thing anyone seems concerned about is how much Natty Light can be drunk in 2 hours.

But I'll hold official decision until AllahPundit and Bron Bron can twit in.

#9  The group chartered two private jets at $100,000 to get the majority of the runaway members to D.C. last Monday.

Upon arriving in D.C., the group checked into the Washington Plaza Hotel in the northwest quadrant of the city. Rooms in the swanky hotel start at $200 per night and amenities include an outdoor swimming pool – a rarity for district hotels.

A Texas Democrat said Monday the runaways will need $1.5 million to stay D.C. until August 7 .

#8  I still want to know if that's a private or chartered plane. It looks too small (width wise) for a public plane and public flight requires masks.

#6  “Important person?” I think you spelled ‘attention whore’ wrong.

#5  During my entire career, one of the main purposes of policies and procedures was to establish who was important enough to ignore them. Donna is simply putting down her marker as an important person.

#2  ^ If a democrat government passes a bill tomorrow that says 'you absolutely must get some exercise daily'; it'll ensure half the hard core conservatives give themselves heart disease by adamantly saying NO!

#1  IMO, the "elites" Covid policies/pronunciations directed at motivating real hard-core conservatives to take unnecessary infection risks.

I also believe that, some*, "Covid-sceptics" are paid agent-provocateurs.

*The others are just idiots.
