LA Mayor admits he lied about COVID-19 and protests

Second Runner-Up

Second Runner-Up for "America's Worst Mayor of a Major City," LA Mayor Eric Garcetti (D-naturally) finally came clean admitting Wednesday that a link exists between LA's butt-to-bellybutton Black Lives Matter protests and the spike in the Chinese Communist Wuhan coronavirus cases. Previously, he lied and denied a cause and effect relationship. [By the way, the First Runner -Up for the award goes to Jenny Durkan and the winner, of course, is Bill de Blasio of New York. All Democrats, of course.]

Garcetti said he consulted [i.e., spoke] with Dr. Barbara Ferrer, LA County’s Director of Public Health, and was told there is a connection. Duh.

 Earlier this week, LA County broke 100,000 COVID-19 cases, as reported by  KTTV-TV.

“I talked again with Dr. Ferrer about that this morning. She does think some of the spread did come from our protests,” he admitted, according to Fox News. 

But Garcetti admitted that he supports the Marxist protesters and gave a power salute to Kanye West who may run for POTUS with Cher or Miley Cyrus as his VP, or someone else and stuff.

“It’s not the ac of protesting — that’s a great and American thing to do no matter what your opinion is … but protesting without maintaining physical distancing, without wearing your mask, without having sanitizer — we just have to be smart. Whether you’re at a protest or at your home, whether in your workplace or whether you’re out shopping, these rules don’t change,” Garcetti said.

He also cautioned protesters to be careful with matches when lighting Molotov cocktails, and don't stand under any falling statues of our Founding Fathers and such.

“We do believe there is a connection. We don’t believe that everybody has been doing this safely, and wherever you can, please stay at home,” he said. By "home," Garcetti includes tents, benches, and basements.

On Tuesday, Garcetti had dismissed connections between the protests and the spike in cases because he just didn't want to believe it and felt it couldn't possibly be true.

“We follow the data closely,” the Marxist said at the time.  “There’s no evidence yet that the protests led to much spread, though it’s something that Doctor Ferrer has hypothesized. But we haven’t seen any conclusive evidence there.”

Maybe the absence of symptoms is due to the fact that the incubation period is around two weeks and Garcetti never read "Basic Arithmetic for Dummies." He was too busy reading "The Communist Manifesto for Schmucks."

“People still can obviously and should exercise their First Amendment rights. This is a critical moment not to let up with that,” the mayor said Tuesday, meaning that when the left wants to speak, they have the right. When conservatives wants to speak, the left has the right to stop them.

The Winner

When dealing with the question of whether New York City protests caused an increase in the virus, New York City Comrade Bill de Blasio forbid carriers of the virus to be questioned as to whether they attended a protest rally.

Problem solved. Now remove your head from your nether regions, Mr. Mayor.
