Given the choice between a French Riviera getaway with Issa Rae or a hallway encounter with Marjorie Taylor Greene, it’s pretty obvious what we’d all do
Photo: Anna Moneymaker/Getty Images I generally prefer my elected representatives show up for work, but sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do. Such, I imagine, was the quandary facing New York congressman Mondaire Jones, who apparently took advantage of a COVID-19 voting-by-proxy rule to skip several congressional sessions while attending Issa Rae’s wedding in the south of France last year. And may I just say: I’d skip Congress for Issa Rae’s wedding, too.
While the Post appears to believe they’ve caught Jones red-handed in a big fat lie, it doesn’t seem like he tried to hide his presence at the wedding. Mondaire recently entered the race for New York’s 10th Congressional District, and a spokesperson for his campaign, Bill Neidhardt, provided a decidedly unconcerned statement to the paper:
Jones is not the only one guilty of fudging the House’s proxy voting policy. The policy was introduced in May 2020 as a COVID-19 safety precaution, intended to let representatives who had COVID-19 to vote from their homes so that they wouldn’t spread the virus.
