John LaPosta, head chef and owner of Innovo Kitchen, took to Instagram Saturday to post a video of the senator walking into his restaurant maskless.
“The problem with NY politics in a nutshell,” wrote LaPosta on Instagram. “My Senator blew past my manager before she could even ask her to put a mask on, walking right past a really big sign that says ‘masks required to enter'. The masks are a mandate from the Governor.”

LaPosta also noted that Gillibrand's example puts in question the validity of following the current New York mandate.

“As good citizens, agree or not, we must follow our leaders,” the restaurant owner noted. “Her guest is graciously wearing one. I guess Senator Gillibrand thinks that the Governor is wrong or she is special and above the rules.”

“Gillibrand is part of the system that put the mask mandate in place. She thinks she’s above the law,” La Posta told The Post.
“Enough is enough! You are supposed to be setting an example. What are you thinking, senator?!” his post said, adding he believes Gillibrand owes his staff an apology.

“It’s hypocritical to me. The arrogance is just breathtaking. Our politicians should be with us, not against us,” he said.
“People will say, `If Gillibrand is not wearing a mask, why should I wear a mask,”
