President Joe Biden: Biden signed a mask mandate requiring everyone on federal property to wear masks. Later that day, he was at the Lincoln Memorial doing a photo-op with his entire family. No masks were used.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi: Had her hair styled at a San Francisco hair salon, which was in violation of Covid-19 restrictions.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom: State guidelines limited private gatherings, yet Newsom was caught, without masks, indoors at an extremely high-end restaurant with lobbyists.

Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot: Got a haircut from a professional stylist in April while salons were shut down under the state's stay-at-home order.
