Members of a local Republican party in Queens, New York hit the dance floor at an indoor holiday party earlier this month amid a raging pandemic, viral footage shows.
Participants also failed to wear masks or social distance at the event.
According to The New York Times, the Whitestone Republican Club held the party on Dec. 9 at an Italian restaurant called Il Bacco. Video of the revelry was circulated on social media this week, prompting backlash and condemnation from New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo (D).
“I saw the video. COVID conga lines are not smart. That’s my official position,” Cuomo said at a press briefing on Tuesday. “Why you would do an unmasked conga line in the middle of a pandemic?”
