The idiot of the week has a LOT of company. This week's Idiots are an entire group that decided to meet and not follow ANY COVID19 protocols for their own safety or the safety of others. Among the idiots was a Idiot of the Week winner from 2 weeks ago, Matt Gaetz. Further, the SUPER-Idiot that is the President of the Club said the group did nothing wrong. As the saying goes, "You can't fix 'stupid'." Here's the article:

N.Y. Young Republican Club gala ignites political dispute over COVID-19 restrictions
By DAVID PORTER, APDecember 7, 2020
A New Jersey restaurant that hosted a political gala put on by a New York Republican club was ordered temporarily closed Friday over potential violations of coronavirus guidelines.
Photos and video posted on Twitter showed dozens of maskless partiers at the New York Young Republican Club event Thursday night in Jersey City, some of whom tweeted taunting messages to Democratic New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo.
Among the attendees was U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz, a Florida Republican, and conservative political activist James O’Keefe.Jersey City Mayor Steven Fulop, a Democrat, said in an emailed statement that the event at the Maritime Parc restaurant in Liberty State Park was “an egregious violation” of state coronavirus guidelines and that he was ordering the restaurant temporarily closed.
New York Young Republican Club President Gavin Wax scoffed at the criticism online, saying the group had done nothing wrong. “We embrace life and living while you all cower in your pods worried about a disease with a 99%+ survivability rate,” he said in one tweet, referring to a pandemic that has killed more than 24,000 people in New York City alone and more than 17,000 in New Jersey.
