A California Democrat has been accused of breaking Covid rules with a backyard wedding that she held over the summer. Becton has admitted the party took place but denies it broke Covid rules, which at the time allowed outdoor religious ceremonies but banned wedding receptions. At the time, outdoor parties were banned under California coronavirus laws that prohibited events where people were unlikely to adhere to mask-wearing and social distancing rules. Other neighbors dismissed her reasoning, saying they are 'really upset' that a public official whose job it is to enforce Covid rules 'got away with' hosting a party. Fall-out from the event also led opponents of the California governor to issue recall petition that has reached 1.4million out of a necessary 1.5million signatures.
