They really believe this.
Rules are for the little people — who are not sophisticated.
New York Times White House correspondent Annie Karni defended the super-spreader event telling CNN hack Jim Acosta, “Other people said this is really being overblown. They’re following all the safety precautions. People are going to sporting events bigger than this. This is going to be safe. This is a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd. And this is just about optics. It’s not about safety.”

There was not a mask in sight at this elitist soiree.
FOX News reported:
New York Times White House Correspondent Annie Karni discussed the controversy surrounding Obama’s much-criticized Martha’s Vineyard celebration where he was seen not wearing a mask and used the term “sophisticated” crowd, saying that the guests were “following all the safety precautions.”
The clip sparked outrage on social media including from journalist Glenn Greenwald who wondered aloud why more people weren’t concerned about the spread of the delta variant of the coronavirus at Obama’s party.
“A NYT reporter on CNN justifying Obama’s huge maskless birthday bash because he only invited “a sophisticated, vaccinated crowd” is about as emblematic of liberal discourse as it gets,” Greenwald tweeted. “What happened to all the concerns about vaccinated people passing Delta to the unvaccinated?”
Yes, it’s a pandemic and a crisis, but let the sophisticated people have their fun!
