He’s got a oui bit of explaining to do.
Rep. Mondaire Jones used a congressional COVID rule to assign another lawmaker to vote for him on more than a dozen bills in the House of Representatives — while he partied on the French Riviera at HBO star Issa Rae’s lavish wedding, The Post has learned.
The Democrat — who represents New York’s Hudson Valley but is currently in a crowded field vying for a new Park Slope-Lower Manhattan district — said au revoir to the hot and humid Washington, DC, summer while voting via a proxy while citing the “public health emergency.”
The allowance was enacted by House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to let COVID-stricken members vote as well as to reduce their potential exposure to the virus while traveling from their districts to the nation’s capital.
Jones employed the potentially misused perk on 17 pieces of legislation between July 19 and July 27, 2021, as he lived it up in France, Instagram posts and online records reveal. --->READ MORE HERE

“The mayor said at the very beginning that the reason that they had to keep wearing masks was because the vaccine was ineligible for them and that didn’t magically change for Monday,” she noted.
The mom added she was “happy it happened,” but, “I just have no idea what was behind it.” --->READ MORE HEREFollow links below to relevant/related stories and resources:
