COVID Mask Theater

By Mike Huckabee

I think it’s safe to assume that you didn’t watch the Emmy Awards last night (yes, that was actually on last night.) That’s not just a statement about conservatives; I think the only people who watch the Emmys anymore are the nominees. You didn’t miss much, but there was one thing of note: it provided the final punchline to a long stretch of escalating elitist liberal mask hypocrisy.

The same leftist politicians and celebrities who love to berate the masses for not wearing three masks whenever they step outside their bedrooms have given us a number of high profile examples of their “Rules for thee but not for me” philosophy. One biggie was Obama's birthday bash. Last week, the mayor of San Francisco and a co-founder of BLM were among the leftist elites caught defying the city’s mask mandate at a jazz club (where the staff, of course, had to wear masks)…

There were also the notorious photos of the ultra-swank Met Gala in New York, where AOC wore her designer “Tax The Rich” gown but like all the other swells, did not wear a mask (the staff, of course, had to wear masks.) And then last night at the Emmy Awards, hundreds of celebrities gathered close together without masks (the staff, of course, had to wear masks.)

Seth Rogan even remarked on the hypocritical flouting of the rules, noting that it had been described as an outdoor event, but there were way too many people in a hermetically-sealed tent.

I know hypocrisy is nothing new. These are the same liberal celebrities and the same events where they used to preach to normal Americans about how sexist and unwoke we were, while protecting powerful celebrities who were later revealed to be serial rapists and child molesters. Now, they lecture us about not wearing masks while not wearing masks.

But kudos to everyone who pointed out that in the background, the wait staff and security people are always wearing masks. I guess COVID only attacks hourly wage workers, not celebrities. The same way it knew to spread only at Trump rallies and never at BLM protests.

    Thanks for pointing out the maskless hypocrisy of the “elite” leftists. This needs to be shouted from the rooftops! People should be free to wear one or not, no mandates- especially for children.

    Thank you so much for standing up for regular Americans like me. You do such a great job as a Christian and a true American. I just really hope something can be done to stop this so-called president before we completely lose our great republic—especially since it has only taken 8 months for Biden to do all this damage. America must turn back to God if we’re going to see any real change. Thank you again. We really appreciate all your efforts.p

    Gov. Huckabee,
    Do you recall in history how the royal court hid away in the castles believing they would not get the plague? The activities of the so-called elite seem to be doing the same thing.

    Reference the hypocrisy of mask mandates and the complete phoniness of Hollyweird celebrities, phony Obama birthday bash, etc. - what is wrong with a majority of Americans? Why isn't the majority standing up against the mask theatre and mandates and just say NO!!! Boycott the businesses that are requiring them, don't tour or spend vacation time in blue states and cities, like Illinois, California, New York, etc. Start saying NO and stop being sheeple!!!! The illegitimate China Joe and his cronie corrupt political party are seeing how many will go along with their power and control agenda! The CDC is a political machine right along with the mainstream media who must be thrilled how many sheeple buy into their lies and ultimate agenda. Wake up Americans before it is too late and the Communist agenda is firmly in place. Is there not enough good men and women who will stand up against this evil agenda? Or are we just going to become victims of tyranny? NO to mask mandates, NO to mandatory vaccines and NO to the corrupt agenda of the Democrats before it is too late!!!!

    Let’s also not forget the vaccine mandate excludes the White House staff, congress, NBA, etc. Just more of the same “rules for thee but not for me”. There is nothing that can be done to stop this? Are the republicans just democrats in disguise? I’m fed up. Don’t tell me to vote—that’s a cheating fiasco. The citizens are being punished for being citizens.
