City council candidate Vickie Paladino among those in conga line at 9 December event at restaurant in Queens, New York
In a celebration more danse macabre than tripping the light fantastic, members of a Republican club in Queens, New York, partied without masks or social distancing during a mid-pandemic indoor Christmas party, a viral video shows.
The Queens Daily Eagle reported that city council candidate Vickie Paladino and members of the Whitestone Republican Club staged their festive event on 9 December at Il Bacco, a restaurant which filed suit against Governor Andrew Cuomo on 28 August, demanding to be allowed to resume indoor dining, against public health restrictions in place in New York at the time.
Indoor dining did resume in New York City in late September, but on 11 December Cuomo announced that the prohibition would resume due to rising positive cases.

Wonderful. We could do with fewer clueless Repubs.
