California Governor Apologises for Breaching his Own Covid-19 Lockdown Rules

FOX 11 obtains exclusive photos of Gov. Newsom at French restaurant allegedly not following COVID-19 protocols

LOS ANGELES – FOX 11 obtained exclusive photos on Tuesday night of Governor Gavin Newsom  allegedly eating at the French Laundry restaurant in Yountville, California at a dinner party he attended on November 6 not following his own COVID-19 protocols he set forth for the state.

This is the latest in a series of recent embarrassing cases of high profile Democrats apparently acting in a way which contradicts their public position on the need for strict Covid-19 lockdowns.

Governor Newsom apparently suggested that the dinner event at which he violated his own Covid-19 lockdown rules was an outdoor event. The risk of Covid-19 transmission is substantially reduced in the open air.

But the photos obtained by Fox seem to suggest the dinner guests were surrounded by four walls and a ceiling, at least for part of the evening.

If “The risk of Covid-19 transmission is substantially reduced in the open air.” then why are the rules considered adequate for indoor gatherings (masks and 6-foot spacing) strictly enforced for outdoor events (e.g., football stadia)?

I truly do not understand why anybody with common sense and logic can with a straight face say they are a DemoRat, its the same people who believe Al gore and greta 😐 Sleepy china Joe and Lock you up Harris are pure cancer, they along with the DemoRat/Antifa/BLM have shown their true colours over the last 4/5 months… Joe has been a lying cheating china Rat for 47 years, even his story of how he met his wife is a lie, Harris loves to lock up blacks and slept her way to the top, four years ago she got laughed of the stage, now she and her nasty witch cackle have been declared presidential winners by fox news and cnn 😐

The DemonRats promise free stuff for everyone. That’s enough for a majority of voters.

Frequently attributed to Ben Franklin but first seen in a 1951 article and attributed to an obscure Scotsman, the following nevertheless rings true:

“When the people find that they can vote themselves money that will herald the end of the republic.”

It’s a lot easier to ride the gravy train than build the railroad.

What gets me is this was at first described as a birthday party. So you assume it’s just friends and family. Turns out it was a bunch of medical lobbyists. This was for political schmoozing. And the lady who took the incriminating pics said the group was so raucous they had to close the sliding glass doors between them and rest of diners. A good time was had by all.
Will Rogers once said, “In a democracy, you get the government you deserve. Good and hard.”

Elsewhere there are some who contend that C-19 is a uniform threat across the entire population. That everyone is equally likely to become infected and equally likely to die. That’s the justification for dictatorial shutdowns, masks and trashing the economy and civil liberties. The lying, fact free, fake news MSM left wing propaganda machine certainly does. And according to that same MSM a positive test is a walking death sentence. You will die a miserable, lonely death in some packed ICU and your family and friends you so wantonly exposed will follow swiftly after.

Well, what does the CDC data tell us?
85.3% of C-19 cases are in people younger than 65.
79.9% of C-19 deaths are in people older than 65.
Seems to me the largest percentage of the general herd with natural immunity is shrugging off C-19.
And the too old, too sick, too crammed together in badly run elder care facilities become stragglers culled per Mother Nature’s and the Grim Reaper’s job description.

And the fear-mongering elsewhere’s and MSM are full of s***!

In D.C., the mayor has been attacking the MAGA rallies as being super spreaders for COVID. This was after she had attended huge rallies to celebrate Biden’s successful theft of the presidency.

And don’t forget, 9-11 was a “government conspiracy”, and the “moon landing” was a hoax.
So many conspiracies, so little time.

Your two straw-man arguments didn’t have people coming forward with personal testimony to the events.

Are you trying to make the argument that there are no conspiracies?
Or are you just trying to make a fool of yourself?

The current “lockdown light” was supposed to be an (unnecessary!) “emergency solution” to save Christmas.

That hope is dead.

We entered second lockdown and the government threw the keys away.

Carl’s conception:
The issue is that the Marshal Law in Germany (covid rules by government decision now overrules the German constitution without concrete reason needs be given) is that the government does not need medical scientific good reasons to lockdown, thus the destruction of the every country, with the exception of China, is on it’s way. Something the climate scare couldn’t accomplish in more than 40 years.

“Never apologize. Your friends don’t need it and your enemies won’t believe you anyway.”***

I don’t believe Governor Nuisance.

***I believe that is a paraphrase but close to the original intent.

Restaurant review sites claim eating there will cost $$$$.
Not sure what ‘ $$$$ ‘ means, but one number I saw was $350.

I think this party fits the slogan: “Your tax dollars at work.”

It’s called The French Laundry because when you get the bill you know you’ve been taken to the cleaners.

Not sure what ‘ $$$$ ‘ means

You seem to have intuited it quite well. ‘ $$$$ ‘ is generally used to indicate lots of money (denominated in US dollars) without specifying an amount. As you note, eating there can easily bring you a large (for the average working stiff) bill of $350 (or more, depending on what you ordered).

A thought: Pay people $1,000 to vaccinate, in order to quickly ramp up to herd immunity (70% +) levels:

Sounds like a great idea. The quicker we can get back to normal, the better.

People have been clamoring for another round of stimulus checks. Perhaps we could combine the two. In order to qualify for a stimulus check, you have to get the vaccine. Might be able to get enough people on both sides of the isle to get that through congress.

Now we know the payback for looking the other way on calling out Dems. You get a spot in the Biden transition team alongside all the writers for MSNBC that have already made the move.

Stuff your apology – $10,000 fine ….$20,000 next time.

Is Newsom a hypocrite? Yes. Is he a liar? He’s a politician, so yeah. But what this incident really tells us is that he does not believe that C-19 is a deadly threat and/or the suffocating (potentially unconstitutional) rules he imposed on his state are ineffective in preventing infection. Otherwise he would not have attended that dinner or at least insisted that everybody wear a mask. Actions speak louder than words, especially actions when one thinks nobody is looking, so according to our “betters” like Newsom and his Medical/Pharma lobbyist friends, we don’t have to socially distance or wear masks anymore. Thanksgiving and Christmas celebrations with family and friends are back on! Rejoice!

Next time do the party in the warehouse district of Oakland with Jerry. Just don’t spend the night there.

The governor need not apologize because he is above everyone else. If he personally helps spread the virus then the consequences should be acceptable by everyone. Just remember that all of California’s problems will be solved as soon as the high speed rail system is put into service between Bakersfield and Fresno.
