The Democratic Party’s top-ranking congressional campaign fundraiser and organizer lectured Americans about the need for a united front to eliminate COVID-19 while he traveled, against State Department guidelines, in Europe.
Rep. Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y., the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee chairman tweeted his hypocritical advice on Aug. 14, the Washington Free Beacon reported.
We all have to do our part to crush this virus. Get your shot, wear a mask, and follow CDC guidelines. It’s just the right thing to do.

The day before, Maloney sent the tweet, he posted a picture on Instagram of himself and his homosexual partner, Randy Florke, standing near the Mediterranean coast.

Maloney traveled to France and Italy, despite the State Department’s clear guidance: “Do not travel to France due to COVID-19.”
The State Department suggests that Americans “reconsider travel” to Italy due to COVID-19.
He attended a wedding at the Villa et Jardins Ephrussi de Rothschild—owned by one of the world’s wealthiest banking families—and posted photos and videos in which neither he nor the other guests were wearing masks.
When Maloney returned from Europe, he went to an elite Democratic Party fundraiser in Napa Valley, where he dined without a mask while the event’s servants covered their faces.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.; Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm; and Commerce Secretary Gina Raimondo also attended the multi-thousand-dollar-per-plate fundraiser. They did not wear masks either.
During Maloney’s rule-breaking trip, he blamed vaccine skepticism among Republicans—and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., in particular—for COVID-19’s continued spread.
If you hate still wearing a mask, blame the dangerous idiots in the @HouseGOP like @RepMTG and those who support her like @GOPLeader for extending the pandemic when it should be over. https://t.co/ZyH6qlE1zC
