New Orleans Mayor LaToya Cantrell hosted a maskless Mardi Gras party just weeks after reinstating the city’s COVID-19 mask mandate for schools and indoor public spaces.
One hundred short videos taken at the Mayor’s Mardi Gras Ball at Gallier Hall were posted online before they were deleted following Fox News’ inquiries Monday. The videos, taken by a 360-degree photo booth, showed Cantrell singing karaoke maskless with two other women, who were also without masks.
In a statement to Fox News, Cantrell spokesman Beau Tidwell admitted that there was not a"perfect adoption of the guidelines in every instance" over the weekend. The Louisiana Supreme Court last week denied requests for a temporary restraining order and an expedited hearing on a lawsuit challenging Cantrell's mask mandate and themandate, which requires people older than 5 to show proof of vaccination in order to enter most businesses.
