Democrats have been criticized by some who have suggested that their fixation on masks is rooted in political theatrics and leave it to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez to provide confirmation that is exactly the case.
Only days after the CDC issued revised guidelines on masking due to a rise in cases attributed to the Delta variant, AOC was caught masking up for an outdoor photo op and then quickly taking it off once the mask had served its purpose.
The action went down on Monday during a gathering at the Capitol where she and fellow Green New Deal zealot Senator Ed Markey joined activists to protest the end of the moratorium on evictions, another act in the sideshow following the staged sleep-in by fellow “Squad” member Cori Bush over the weekend.
Unfortunately for Ocasio-Cortez, one camera hadn’t stopped rolling, exposing the fraud.

It didn’t take long for the reaction to hit Twitter where users called out the hypocrisy and unleashed a torrent of mockery on AOC.
Clearly this pandemic doesn’t scare them as much as they want us to be scared of it. Fear is the currency of control. It’s not about your health.. b/c if it was they would follow their own draconian rules

Why did AOC mask up for a photo op during her eviction protest — then immediately remove the mask after?

A Virus so deadly that one only needs to "Mask Up" for camera shots.
What happens before & after the photo that neutralizes the precautionary action of wearing of a Mask?
Guess Social Distancing ended as well or is that reserved for the Plebs?#USA

She is far from the only Democrat who believes that the “rules are for thee and not for me” when it comes to COVID.
Looks like mask mandates and threats of arrest don’t apply to senior Democrats. #hypocrisy pic.twitter.com/IwKOe1jVXF

Such mixed messaging isn’t likely going to convince Americans that it is necessary to go back to mask mandates, a volatile and sensitive issue and especially now that school is ready to resume with government officials and teachers unions sending signals that kids will have to be subjected to another year of being forced to wear the stifling face coverings.
Parents are already steaming and when Democrats make a mockery of their own rules it doesn’t set an example of leadership that many will be willing to adhere to.
