QUOTE OF THE DAY: Gavin Newsom’s Explanation for Getting Caught Maskless Again Is Priceless
California Gov. Gavin Newsom visibly struggled Monday to explain why he was photographed violating Los Angeles County’s indoor mask mandate at the NFC title game.
THE QUOTE
“I was trying to be gracious and I made a mist — you know, I mean I was trying to be gracious and took the mask off for a brief second. But no, I encourage people to continue to wear them,” Newsom said at a press conference, a day after taking a photo with Los Angeles Lakers legend Magic Johnson in what appeared to be a stadium suite.
California Democrat Gov. Newsom doesn't apologize for violating his OWN indoor mask mandate:

In November 2020, Newsom apologized amid public backlash after he was caught attending a lavish dinner party at a restaurant in Napa in November 2020 in defiance of his own COVID-19 restrictions.

The diner who took these pictures sent them exclusively to @FOXLA. She was surprised to see the Gov. with so many other families.
