About 30 minutes before his flight, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock tweeted this.

One week ago today, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock sent this "Message from the Mayor's Office."

"As the holidays approach, we all long to be with our families in person, but with the continued rise in cases, I’m urging you to refrain from travel this Thanksgiving holiday."

Statement from @MayorHancock's office: "the Mayor is not hosting his traditional large family dinner this year, but instead traveling alone to join his wife & daughter where the 3 of them will celebrate Thanksgiving at her residence instead of having them travel back to Denver."

Regarding Denver Mayor Michael Hancock Thanksgiving travel, I asked @GovofCO:
1. Did Hancock ever tell Polis?
2. How can Polis share stage with Hancock again when imparting COVID-19 safety precautions?

Polis didn't know of Hancock travel. He didn't answer Question 2. #copolitics

Turns out it's not that hard to throw shade in a clear mask.

On Nov. 20, Denver Mayor Michael Hancock held COVID-19 response update: "I'm asking, I'm urging, I'm pleading with everyone, please stay home."

In an email, Colorado's Public Health Department suggests canceling Thanksgiving gatherings with people who don't live with you. "What we do in the coming days and weeks could save our lives and the lives of others."

I checked twice there is no asterisk for elected leaders.

NEW: @MayorHancock provides statement on his own Thanksgiving travel. "I made my decision as a husband and father, and for those who are angry and disappointed, I humbly ask you to forgive decisions that are borne of my heart and not my head.”
