EXCLUSIVE: Sarah Palin Seen Dining At NYC Restaurant TWO DAYS After Covid Diagnosis

Source: mediaite



Sarah Palin returned to Elio’s restaurant on Manhattan’s Upper East Side Wednesday night — just two days after testing positive for Covid-19. As seen in photos obtained by Mediaite, the former Alaska governor, who is unvaccinated, dined at the establishment in a heated outdoor area on Wednesday. She dined at the same eatery on Saturday, but indoors, in violation of New York City’s dining vaccine mandate. The city requires restaurants to verify the vaccination status of its customers for indoor dining.

A source told Mediaite that four police officers were walking around Elio’s on Wednesday night while Palin was there. It is unclear if their presence was related to the former governor. The city had said Elio’s would not be investigated for allowing the unvaccinated Palin to dine there on Saturday.

A spokesperson reached out to Mediaite with a statement from Elio’s manager Luca Guaitolini, who said Palin came to the restaurant to apologize. “Tonight Sarah Palin returned to the restaurant to apologize for the fracas around her previous visit,” it read. “In accordance with the vaccine mandate and to protect our staff, we seated her outdoors. We are a restaurant open to the public, and we treat all civilians the same.”

Can you imagine if - perish the thought - that one were president right now?

It would all look like a cross between a zombie movie (mass infection and hospital collapse) and Mad Max (financial collapse).

basically range from the amoral to the malevolent (and probably love the idea of their own personal body count)...so I wouldn't expect ANY level of common decency out of them anytime, ever.

... it's basically an ENCLOSED TENT! Seems to me that in that kind of sealed environment, the dangers of transmission would be the same as being indoors with a hard roof and brick-and-mortar walls.

I agree, though. The whole thing is a joke. It's a temporary indoor area at best.

Not that it makes what she did any less horrible. But I bet half of these assholes who keep insisting they are not vaccinated secretly have gotten the shots.

She tested positive (multiple times) yet she is running around, apparently not caring that she could be infecting other people.
