New Jersey officials shut down a restaurant that hosted a mask-free New York Young Republicans gala
Source: Yahoo News
New York and New Jersey officials are disturbed that a Republican club on Thursday hosted a gala with 150 mask-less people in attendance, including Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz.
A day after the event, New Jersey Mayor Steven Fulop shut down the Maritime Parc, the restaurant that hosted the gala, according to a statement. Fulop ordered the restaurant to close indefinitely after photos circulated on social media showing mask-less attendees, including Gaetz, smiling and packed close together indoors.
The event was an annual gala thrown by the New York Young Republicans Club.
Fulop said the restaurant will remain closed until the owners create a viable plan detailing how they will comply with coronavirus-related restrictions and mandates. The plan must be submitted to and reviewed by the state's health department.

Somehow I think he will be celebrated in Florida, unless he moves, inexplicably, to some backwoods Republican stronghold.

(6,953 posts)I used to vacation in Floridauntil the place I always visited went cultish for Trump. They will never see another dime from me, and millions of others think the same.
Its residents like Matt Gretzky who drive visitors away, and will end up leading Florida Trump businesses into bankruptcy.

(5,252 posts)but nothing about Putz? No charges? No fines? He was there, you have proof. He was flaunting the mask order. Fine his ass! And, put out a warrant for him when he does not pay, and he cannot enter New Jersey again without being arrested. I don't care who he is, and I am tired of watching the rethugs ignore the 'promote the general welfare' part of our founding document. Hold them accountable!

(45 posts)If this is a young Republican group, most of their members are 30 plus years old. Several have grey hair. Good luck with the future NYYRC!
