Trump-loving NYC councilman shamed for boasting he’ll violate COVID-19 guidelines on Thanksgiving

A New York City councilman announced he would flout Gov. Andrew Cuomo's new guidelines limiting indoor gatherings to 10 people or fewer, and social media users were appalled at his carelessness.


Councilman Joe Borelli (R-South Shore), who served as one of President Donald Trump's honorary state campaign chairs, boasted that his family would violate the guidelines, which cover gatherings at private residences, to host a traditional Thanksgiving meal with relatives despite the resurgence of the highly contagious coronavirus.

Other Twitter users called him out for acting irresponsibly during a pandemic.
