Eric Swalwell (D-CA) was slammed on Wednesday after he was caught hanging out maskless in the state of Florida, which comes after Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) faced backlash over the same thing last week.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe California Democrat has repeatedly accused conservative lawmakers of being responsible for the ongoing covid wave and last week blamed the GOP for \u2018canceled vacations\u2019 and for having to wear \u2018masks everywhere\u2019 again just before the new year,\u201d The Daily Mail <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/news\/article-10372009\/amp\/Eric-Swalwell-seen-maskless-Miami-blaming-GOP-prolonging-pandemic.html\">reported<\/a>. \u201cBut Swalwell, himself, was apparently able to go ahead with his holiday travel plans and ditch his mask just days later, when he was spotted hanging out at the posh Loews Miami Beach Hotel.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDespite being out of his usual office attire, it wasn\u2019t long before the congressman was recognized and approached by bystanders who took note of his unlikely visit to the Sunshine State,\u201d the report later added. \u201cBut when the hotel guest went on to ask about his lack of face covering and if he was vaccinated, Swalwell was left \u2018speechless,\u2019 according to the source. Swalwell, like many fellow Democrats, has been a huge proponent of mask and vaccine mandates throughout the pandemic and has openly criticized his Republican counterparts for failing to enforce such measures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Swalwell was quickly met with backlash online by a variety of commentators.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf Swalwell truly believed his own rhetoric about COVID, Florida, and mandates, he would not take his maskless unvaccinated baby to Loews Hotel South Beach during the Omicron case surge in Miami,\u201d Christina Pushaw, press secretary for Governor Ron DeSantis, tweeted. \u201cIt\u2019s not hypocrisy. It\u2019s hierarchy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2026maskless Eric Swalwell, his maskless friend, and his maskless infant are NOT sitting outdoors,\u201d she added. \u201cThey are pictured in the lobby of Loews Hotel near Bar Collins.

I mean, you have governors, you have mayors, you have members of Congress. They say one thing and then they live under different sets of rules,\u201d DeSantis said. \u201cAnd I think the thing about Florida, as we\u2019ve said, you have the ability to make your own decisions. We are not going to use the heavy hand of government to curtail your freedoms or to ruin your livelihoods. And those policies were policies that all those people railed against and yet, they\u2019ll come down here and bask in the Florida sunshine and the Florida freedom.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo, I\u2019m glad that Florida is a refuge for people,\u201d he added. \u201cI mean, you know, we are \u2014 we\u2019re happy with what we\u2019re doing. But it really shows you that this is a ruling class mentality where they think that they can impose these on other people but that they should not have to follow all the dictates that they constantly spout.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
