Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) removed his mask to celebrate with a crowd of Biden supporters in New York City, seemingly tossing all concerns for the Chinese coronavirus aside in a city that was once considered a hotspot of the virus.
Video shows a maskless Schumer triumphantly holding a Biden-Harris sign in the middle of a crowd in the Big Apple as he and the crowd celebrate what they believe is President Trump’s defeat.
“Let’s send Donald Trump back to Florida! We don’t want him in New York anymore,” he said, throwing his hand in the air as the crowd cheered:

Schumer’s maskless moments of jubilation follow months of criticizing President Trump and his supporters for, supposedly, not taking the Wuhan virus seriously:
Wear a mask.
Wear a mask.
Wear a mask.
Wear a mask.
Wear a mask.We can get COVID-19 much more under control if we all wear one.

WEAR A MASK.

This July 4th, be safe and wear a mask!
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) July 4, 2020
President Trump can't even model good behavior and consistently encourage Americans to wear a mask. Every time he takes the podium, he’s a threat to public health.
We are living through one the greatest failures of presidential leadership in our country’s history.

But President Trump and his administration still refuse to require masks.
Unacceptable.https://t.co/vDMIma9w3G

Schumer is hardly the only leftist to violate the consistent progressive calls for mask mandates and proper social distancing. Pro-Biden crowds have flocked to major cities in celebration, completely ignoring social distancing guidance touted by their Democrat leaders of choice– the same Democrat leaders who criticized Trump for holding outdoor campaign rallies, or what they referred to as “super spreader” events:

“Weird how ‘social distancing’ doesn’t matter anymore,” the House GOP observed:

“And suddenly people gathering in large crowds and not social distancing is no longer considered irresponsible by the media,” Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) remarked:
