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.
.@GavinNewsom defends himself for once again breaking his own Covid masking rules: "I was very judicious yesterday ... In my left hand is the mask, & I took a photo. The rest of the time I wore it, as we all should. Not when I had a glass of water, or anything … and that’s it.” pic.twitter.com/3FAgbNPM5t

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).
California governor Gavin Newsom said he only took his mask off for a “brief second” for a photo at 49ers-Rams. Here he is on live TV during the game without his mask on. Liars gonna lie: pic.twitter.com/AiQOcb740y

Not to be outdone, L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti also had an explanation for why he appeared unmasked at the same venue.
The Mayor of LA has said it was OK for him to take a maskless picture with Magic Johnson because "I held my breath"https://t.co/WEjfrB07PX

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.
Here’s governor @GavinNewsom at the @RamsNFL game last night, no mask, enjoying his evening with 80,000 people.

Today, I’m about to take my son to elementary school in LA where he MUST wear a mask all day, even outside at recess! #Insanity
Time to end the charade. pic.twitter.com/sPSyDtxNvC
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.
