"Who are you going to believe, me or your lying eyes?"

 Alternate post title: They think you're stupid. 


Despite Los Angeles County imposing a mask mandate, California Gov. Gavin Newsom was seen sans facemask at the NFC Championship game in L.A. this past Sunday. He attempted to explain himself. 





What we've been told about wearing facemasks is they're not meant to protect us from COVID as much as they're effective in protecting others from us transmitting the virus. If that's the case, then why would Newsom remove his mask for a photo op with Magic? After all, Magic is north of 60 years old, overweight and, oh yeah, HE HAS THE FLIPPIN' AIDS VIRUS!!! God love Magic, but he's the textbook definition of immunocompromised. So when Newsom claimed to have only removed his mask for the photo op, that would seem to be the one occasion where he shouldn't have done so.  


 



Oh, and the bit where he was "judicious" about wearing a mask the rest of the time? Yep. Bull pucky (see about 3 seconds into the following video).  


 



Not to be outdone, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti also had an explanation for why he appeared unmasked at the same venue. 


 



Translation: Yeah, I took a picture with Magic Johnson while unmasked.....but I didn't exhale!!!


In all seriousness, the optics of this whole thing are infuriating. 


 



Yup. Some studies show unvaccinated kids are less likely to contract the virus than vaxxed adults, yet in some areas are threatened with a trespassing charge if they show up at school unmasked. Meanwhile, elitists flout such mandates then have the temerity to gaslight us when called on it. 


Just watch. In about ten years, many of these same elites will insist that throughout the pandemic they were adamantly opposed to lockdowns and masking kids.
