Democratic Michigan Congresswoman Elissa Slotkin was blasted online Monday after she posted a picture of herself maskless at a campaign meeting, while other attendees were all masked.
Speaking at an event for her &#8220;Snow Boots on the Ground&#8221; campaign tour, Slotkin took a maskless selfie with several dozen attendees and posted it to her Twitter account.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">
Another successful Snow Boots on the Ground event in Owosso! Thank you to everyone who came out despite the frigid temperatures. (My selfie skills also seem to be improving so my team actually let me post this one!) <a href="https://t.co/aH3jw3EWaF">pic.twitter.com/aH3jw3EWaF</a>

A video posted to Twitter the day before shows Slotkin wearing a surgical mask while taking a selfie with attendees at another campaign stop.

Snow Boots on the Ground stop number 2 is in the books! Thank you to everyone in Bath for welcoming me to Clinton County (and for indulging in my New Years resolution to take more pictures from the campaign trail). <a href="https://t.co/kR9y6i3Yzn">pic.twitter.com/kR9y6i3Yzn</a>

Slotkin, a former CIA analyst who was first elected to Congress in 2018, is considered a vulnerable seat in the 2022 midterms, where Republicans are expected to take back control of both Houses of Congress. Slotkin&#8217;s seat is listed as a toss-up by <a href="https://www.cookpolitical.com/ratings/house-race-ratings">Cook Political Report</a>.
Twitter users blasted Slotkin for her hypocrisy on masks, with many drawing comparisons to progressive voting rights activist and Georgia gubernatorial candidate <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/unmasked-stacey-abrams-visits-georgia-school-where-the-kids-still-have-to-mask-up">Stacey Abrams</a>, who was photographed maskless last week with a room full of masked students.
&#8220;Endangered House Democrat Elissa Slotkin doing her own Stacey Abrams,&#8221; The New York Post&#8217;s Jonathan Levine tweeted.

&#8220;Why are the children forced to wear masks?&#8221; editor-in-chief of The Federalist Mollie Hemingway replied under Slotkin&#8217;s tweet.

Slotkin and Abrams are the latest in a long line of Democratic politicians who have been called out for their hypocrisy on wearing masks. Both Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and California Governor Gavin Newsom were photographed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/liars-gonna-lie-newsom-slammed-for-going-maskless-at-nfl-playoff-game-then-claiming-he-didnt">maskless at the NFC Championship Game</a> at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, in violation of the mask mandates imposed by the city of Los Angeles and the state of California, as the Daily Wire reported.
Pressed on the issue at a news conference the day after the game, <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/liars-gonna-lie-newsom-slammed-for-going-maskless-at-nfl-playoff-game-then-claiming-he-didnt">Newsom</a> claimed that the photo was the only time he was without a mask during the game. “I was very judicious yesterday, very judicious, and you’ll see the photo that I did take, where Magic was kind enough, generous enough to ask me for a photograph, and in my left hand is the mask and I took the photo,” Newsom said. “The rest of the time I wore it, as we all should, [except] when I had a glass of water, or anything, and I encourage everybody else to do so. And that’s it.” However, Twitter users pointed out that Newsom had been spotted maskless on more than one occasion, by a FOX broadcast camera, and by the fan camera inside the stadium.
<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/these-fers-will-keep-lying-garcetti-says-he-was-holding-his-breath-when-photographed-maskless-at-nfl-playoff-game">Garcetti</a> was also lambasted on Twitter after claiming he &#8220;held his breath&#8221; in the photo with Johnson. “I’ll take personal responsibility, and if it makes you and everyone else happy — or even the photographs with people where literally I’m holding my breath for two seconds — I won’t even do that,” Garcetti told Deadline. “I wore my mask the entire game,&#8221; he added. “When people ask for a photograph, I hold my breath and I put it here and people can see that. There is a zero percent chance of infection from that.”
