Gov. Ralph Northam has repeatedly urged Virginia residents to cover their faces in public during the COVID-19 pandemic, but the Democrat didn’t heed his own plea when he posed mask-less for photographs alongside residents during a weekend beach visit.
A spokeswoman for the governor’s office said Sunday that Northam should have brought a face mask with him during his visit on Saturday to the Virginia Beach Oceanfront, news outlets reported.
“He was outside yesterday and not expecting to be within six feet of anyone,” Northam spokesman Alena Yarmosky said in a statement. “This is an important reminder to always have face coverings in case situations change — we are all learning how to operate in this new normal, and it’s important to be prepared.”
Northam has suggested that he will announce a statewide policy on face coverings on Tuesday. At the beach on Saturday, the governor told reporters that his administration was still working on the details.
“Wearing a mask could literally save someone else’s life,” he said last week, according to the Richmond Times-Dispatch.
Critics on social media chided Northam, a physician, for not practicing what he has preached.
“Physician, heal thyself,” tweeted Todd Gilbert, a Republican who is Virginia’s House Minority Leader.

Since he’s a good Democrat, I think we all know he is exempt from the edicts that he is passing down for the rest of us to live by.
The rules don’t apply to the ruling class.

“If a mother is in labor, I can tell you exactly what would happen. The infant would be delivered. The infant would be kept comfortable. The infant would be resuscitated if that’s what the mother and the family desired, and then a discussion would ensue between the physicians and the mother.”
The “discussion” is about murder.
That any person that would utter such a statement is an elected public official in the United States of America should horrify an any decent person.
Wearing or not wearing masks to me, pales in comparison.
His hood was at the dry cleaners.
Typical.
His dictate for face coverings is dead and so is he. Trump is going to gut and hang him!
“pales in comparison”
Of course. It’s impossible for humble sinners to process that devotion to raw evil. Yet the left celebrates the descent.
There is nothing to do to make it better or even stay the same. Everything is bad. I don’t let one evil obscure my anger at the others.
Northam is the Dr. Mengele of Virginia. He gives the orders (You to the right, the rest to the left), not follows them.
Seig Heil Ralphie!
Next time he should wear blackface, so they don’t know it is the Guv.
WTF did you Virginians vote for?
Oh, so it’s not okay for the general public to endanger people around them but okay for you to do so. Gotcha.
“If that’s what the family wants?”
Wow. I think most, if not all, would want their baby to live.
Has this person had children?
Ralph is a loon.
“Northam has suggested that he will announce a statewide policy on face coverings on Tuesday. “
Oh FU
the whole face covering thing is a farce.
As usual, demonicRATS are more equal than other animals.
The same damn thing we Commiefornians and Michiganders and Oregoners and Nevadans voted for. Lying, two-faced, hypocrite, bullsh*trying, control freak Communists.
Whether ‘Blackface’ or actually the dude dressed up in a KKK outfit, the idiot is typical for progressive libtard Dems: Do as I say, not as I do.
