San Francisco mayor London Breed (D.) attended an indoor dinner
party despite urging city residents to forgo social gatherings to
help stop the spread of coronavirus.
Breed celebrated a friend’s birthday on Nov. 7 with seven others
at French Laundry, a three-star Michelin restaurant in Napa County,
the San Francisco Chronicle�reported
Tuesday. The party occurred just one night after California
governor Gavin Newsom (D.) was spotted dining maskless at the same
restaurant, Fox 11 Los Angeles first
reported.
The November dinner party would have violated restrictions in
Breed’s home city of San Francisco, where restaurants are banned
from allowing more than six diners to sit at one table, according
to the Chronicle. At the time of the two dinners, state
officials warned Californians against attending social
gatherings—which were restricted to no more than three
households—to help stop the spread of coronavirus.
Despite attending parties themselves,
Breed and
Newsom asked constituents to refrain from gathering indoors.
Just days after the dinner party, Breed
stalled the reopening of indoor dining in San Francisco, saying
citizens must “act responsibly to reduce the spread of the
virus.”
Breed and Newsom are among a handful of California Democrats who
have attended dinners and other outings despite regulations barring
their constituents from doing the same.
Earlier this year, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi visited a hair
salon in San Francisco while the city had ordered salons to remain
closed.
Los Angeles County supervisor Sheila Kuehl dined
outdoors at a Santa Monica restaurant just hours after she voted to
ban outdoor dining last week. And San Jose mayor Sam Liccardo
visited his parents for Thanksgiving dinner despite telling city
residents to avoid holiday gatherings.
