No specific leader is listed for this violation because so many broke their own recommendations as well as Atlanta’s lockdown guidelines to attend the funeral of Congressman John Lewis on July 30, 2020. While Lewis was an accomplished congressman and civil rights activist, he was not a hypocrite.

Many people questioned why social distancing was not strictly enforced for everyone at the funeral and during the burial. Some even found it unfair that the life of the beloved Lewis was honored at a packed service filled with pomp and circumstance while they could only watch the isolated final services for their loved ones over Zoom.In attendance at the Lewis funeral were all former US presidents (except Jimmy Carter), Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, and countless other current and former elected officials. Nearly all of them have used their platforms and offices to encourage social distancing or to pass regulations related to it.Although most people wore masks at the funeral, social distancing was not observed throughout the church or at the burial. Some mourners were packed tightly into pews without the recommended 1.8 meters (6 ft) of distance between them. Unfortunately, the funeral of John Lewis demonstrated how the political elites can easily circumvent their own guidelines and rules and be celebrated for it.
