\nSan Francisco mayor London Breed defended herself after being caught maskless at a city jazz club in violation of her city\u2019s own strict ordinance, telling reporters that she \u201cwas feeling the spirit\u201d and not thinking about masking, and claiming that San Francisco should not be h \u201cfun police,\u201d even during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Breed was caught, last week, \u201cdancing behind a table full of drinks,\u201d and \u201cnot wearing a face covering as she sang and posed for photos,\u201d according to a local ABC affiliate. \u201cUnmasked, singing, and dancing with an equally unmasked crowd, cell phone video shows Mayor London Breed inside a club in the Tenderloin on Wednesday night,\u201d the outlet noted. \u201cBreed and others enjoyed a surprise performance by Bay Area R&B group, Tony! Toni! Ton\u00e9!, at the Black Cat on Eddy and Leavenworth Streets. But the maskless moment flies in the face of what [] Mayor Breed has been telling San Franciscans all pandemic long.\u201d I chose to go to @sfblackcat last night for my first indoor concert since the pandemic\u2026 and this happened ???????????????? pic.twitter.com\/x68lRya0Wh Mariecar Mendoza (@SFMarMendoza) September 16,2021 On Monday, Breed blasted back at her critics, claiming that she was following the rules, and also that, in the moment, she was not considering her own mask mandate. \u201cWhile I\u2019m eating and drinking I\u2019m going to keep my mask off,\u201d Breed said, though the photo shows her dancing. \u201cAnd yes, in the time while we\u2019re drinking like everyone else there, we were all having a good time and again all vaccinated.\u201d Breed will likely know that San Francisco\u2019s mask mandate does not take vaccination status into account. According to the city\u2019s website, individuals \u201cmust wear a mask indoors in public places, even if you are vaccinated\u2026 You must wear a mask even if you are vaccinated.\u201d \u201cYou should still get vaccinated,\u201d the city\u2019s guidance continues, \u201cbecause it\u2019s the best way to protect yourself from COVID-19, including the Delta variant.\u201d Those details, however, are immaterial when you are \u201cfeeling the spirit\u201d \u2014 at least according to Breed. \u201cMy drink was sitting at the table. I got up and started dancing because I was feeling the spirit and I wasn\u2019t thinking about a mask,\u201d Breed explained. \u201cI was thinking about having a good time and in the process I was following the health orders.\u201d She and her friends, she continued, \u201cdon\u2019t need the fun police to come in and micromanage and tell us what we should or shouldn\u2019t be doing.\u201d \u201cThe fact that this story became about me and less about the artists and nightlife, which I will continue to enjoy in San Francisco, is very unfortunate,\u201d she said. Local media quickly noted that Breed has, in the past, specifically addressed her own situation. \u201cYou know wear your mask, look at the environment, and be aware that COVID is still out there,\u201d Breed said back in May. In July, Breed noted that \u201cwe are definitely close to a mandate of wearing masks and I know people are tired of being told what to do but the fact is this is where is are.\u201d The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
