Rep. Elissa Slotkin (D-Mich.) is being criticized after she posted a maskless selfie.
In a tweet on Sunday, Slotkin wrote, āAnother successful Snow Boots on the Ground event in Owosso!ā
āThank 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!)ā she added.
She shared a picture of herself without a mask, while in the background attendees of the event can be seen wearing masks.
Check out some of the reactions below:
Slotkinās post comes just days after Georgia Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams was criticized for posting a picture of herself sitting maskless in a room where children were wearing masks.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) tweeted, āStacey Abrams wants state government mask mandates for Georgians and their children. But it looks like they wouldnāt apply when sheās attending a photo op.ā
Abramsā lack of mask-wearing was apparently a violation of a Decatur City Commission ordinance. She later deleted the picture.
In a tweet, Abramsā campaign manager Laura Groh-Wargo wrote, āOur opponents took a brief break from licking Trumpās boots this weekend to issue baseless attacks, and itās more of their typical dishonest, wannabe tough guy fodder to distract from their failure.ā
She shared a statement from the campaign that read, āIt is shameful that our opponents are using a Black History Month reading event for Georgia children as the impetus for a false political attack, and it is pitiful and predictable that our opponents continue to look for opportunities to distract from their failed records when it comes to protecting public health during a pandemic.ā
āThis pathetic, transparent, and silly attack is beneath anyone who claims he wants to lead Georgia,ā it added.
