Brauchler Skewers Polis Hypocrisy
2 min readDistrict Attorney George Brauchler exposed Governor Jared Polis’ flaunting of his own rules in a stinging op-ed rebuke, pointing out our Dear Leader’s continued COVID hypocrisy during his recent vaccine photo op.
In his op-ed, Brauchler reminded us that Polis violated multiple social distancing and PPE guidelines that would have landed the rest of us in legal hot water:
In his first public act since announcing he tested positive for COVID-19 only 16 days earlier, and only six days after his husband was released from the hospital for worsening COVID symptoms, Polis invited multiple members of the media and staff into the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment’s lab to broadcast him flaunting current public health orders — violations which can be crimes — all in the name of a photo opportunity surrounding the first COVD vaccines delivered to Colorado. It was neither required by his position nor was it necessary. It was political and gratuitous and it deliberately violated his and CDPHE’s orders.
Brachler noted that CDPHE is an employer of over 50 people, requiring it to comply with the same social distancing rules we all have to follow. Of course they did not follow their own guidelines, but the politicking was too important.
In the same way Polis continues to activate the National Guard to do basic logistics work for the purpose of optics (while struggling contractors who need the work are shut out), he continues to make decisions like this vaccine photo op that serve no purpose other than politics.
