Colorado: Denver Mayor Preaches ‘Stay Home’ For Thanksgiving While Boarding An Out-Of-State Flight

Federalist: Denver Mayor Michael Hancock boarded a flight to Houston Wednesday before Thanksgiving despite telling citizens not to travel and instead to spend the holiday with just their own household.

About 30 minutes before Hancock’s flight took off, he tweeted, “Avoid travel, if you can” in order to slow the spread of COVID-19.

Hancock’s spokeswoman confirmed he was traveling to visit his daughter in Mississippi and that his wife is already there.

Hancock’s Twitter is replete with similar public statements, especially as the number of Wuhan virus cases has risen and increased restrictions have gone into effect in Denver and across Colorado.

“As he has shared, the Mayor is not hosting his traditional large family dinner this year, but instead traveling alone to join his wife and daughter where the three of them will celebrate Thanksgiving at her residence instead of having them travel back to Denver,” Hancock’s spokeswoman said in a statement. “Upon return, he will follow all necessary health and safety guidance and quarantine.” read more

  1. OK…my wheelhouse….Michael Hancock was certainly implicated in a bust of a swingers business a few tears ago. Denver Players/Denver Sugar. His wife stayed with him at that time, but NO more, she busted him cheating again and again. She’s in Mississippi with the daughter to LEAVE his cheatin’ ass. He’s on bended knee to try to salvage his political career…..Phony motherfucker…. and a huge political dumbass. Hickenlooper style dumbass, but not nearly as politically connected….

    My reading of Simon Schama’s massive “Citizens” about the French Revolution convinced me that Louis XVI and Marie Antionette were decent people who strived to do the best for the French people.

    [Let them eat brioche] was said 100 years before her (Marie Antoinette) by Marie-Thérèse, the wife of Louis XIV. It was a callous and ignorant statement and she, Marie Antoinette, was neither.
    — Antonia Fraser, 2002 Edinburgh Book Fair

    A second consideration is that there were no actual famines during the reign of King Louis XVI and only two incidents of serious bread shortages, the first in April–May 1775, a few weeks before the king’s coronation on 11 June 1775, and the second in 1788, the year before the French Revolution. The 1775 shortages led to a series of riots that took place in northern, eastern and western France, known at the time as the Flour War (guerre des farines). Letters from Marie Antoinette to her family in Austria at this time reveal an attitude largely contrary to the spirit of Let them eat brioche:[9]

    It is quite certain that in seeing the people who treat us so well despite their own misfortune, we are more obliged than ever to work hard for their happiness. The King seems to understand this truth. — Marie Antoinette
