If Gohmert is right, we might have had Presidents Al Gore and Hillary Clinton

Hypocrisy of officials who flout Covid precautions
As a parent, I know that one of the first rules of parenting is to model the behavior I want to see. "Do as I say, not as I do" is rarely an effective strategy: My children notice even the slightest whiff of double standard between my words and my actions. This holds true for simple things, like not snacking before dinner, as well as the big things, like Covid-19 precautions. I can't get together with friends and then tell them they're not allowed to do so.
