Students slam Pelosi, Cuomo as 'hypocritical' for violating their own COVID rules

Campus Reform Digital Reporter Eduardo Neret spoke to students about Nancy Pelosi being caught violating coronavirus lockdown rules by going to get her hair done at a salon and Andrew Cuomo being pictured in public without a mask. Neret asked students to react to the Democratic politicians who failed to abide by the rules they want to enforce on the general public. Most students said this showed poor leadership, and slammed the Democratic pair as "hypocritical."

FULL STORY: After Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was caught violating coronavirus lockdown rules by getting her hair done at a salon and New York Governor Andrew Cuomo was recently photographed without a mask, Campus Reform Digital Reporter Eduardo Neret spoke to students to get their reactions on leaders who have not been following the very rules they have been trying to enforce.

Most students said Pelosi and Cuomo’s actions were “hypocritical.”

“We’re doing the things they want us to do, but they don’t want to do it...it’s just literally the definition of being a hypocrite,” one student said.

“Yes I do feel like it’s hypocritical to impose these rules,” another added.

“Yeah, and they’re just abusing the power they have,” a different student said.

Neret then asked students if they felt coronavirus rules were being implemented for political power.

“They probably just think they’re above the law,” one student said.

“Yeah, I do believe that they are getting more controllive [sic] because, you know, in November we have the upcoming election, so,” one student argued.

“It’s just no coincidence that this all just happened the one year that we have to reelect the next president,” another student added. “Like, it just doesn’t seem like a coincidence to me.”

Students also told Neret that they wouldn’t vote for politicians like Pelosi and Cuomo who exhibited this type of behavior.

“I feel like the sad truth is, is that no matter what politician one is going to vote for, that they all are like that,” one student explained.

"All politicians are like that, you can't avoid it"
Yes you can, vote for someone that is NOT forcing you to do something they wouldn't do.

[negahplz]

Hopefully they wake up after seeing this hypocrisy.

[ericdraven]

The truth will always come out, I’m glad these kids are finally seeing these politicians for the people they really are

[Dartist]

At least President Trump has not demanded that people wear masks, its an individual choice...

[tembodiaz]

Good job Miami! Finally making me proud.

[EsotericHighway]

You’re not a Leader if you don’t demonstrate through action.

A True leader personifies what they are leading.,

"All politicians are like that."

Well with Trump it's different! At least with Trump, he speaks his mind and you know where he stands!

Three points to think about:
1) These kids can't get past saying "I feel like ..." rather than saying "I think ...".
2) Suddenly, all focus on "the curve" has disappeared from the news.
3) Kamala Harris has become invisible - the media is keeping her out of the news - why?

[ledzeppelin]

Remember during the impeachment inquiry when Pelosi said, "No one is above the law"?

[LatimusChadimus]

Fortunately the POTUS is not a politician

[cbonez]

It's unacceptable and complete hypocrisy

[REG]

Don't you love how so many people say don't generalize and then follow up by saying "all politicians are like 'X' "

[samantha]

At least someone wasn't shocked that people in power think they're above the rest. I wish more people realized that

[hotelaz]

Don't They Know this is What Tyrants and Dictators Do Sorry I forgot they don't teach that in Schools anymore

[c_wonder]

Should we remove Pelosi?
A). Yes
B). A
C). Both A & B

[davidsincere]

And what can we learn from this boys and girls? Don't vote for a hypocrite politicians!

[FrmanTV]

"All politicians are like that." -- BINGO!

[tammyjohnson]

Finally I hear wisdom from this generation.

[BaMBaM-giyx]

I'm suprised today's college kids are smart enough or mature enough to call this out

[MrApollonox]

Girl in the yellow shirt, go with that suspicious feeling!
