What do you get when three ardent mask-pushing politicians in California come together at a social event with a mask mandate? An opportunity for blatant hypocrisy.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, over the last year and a half, has been one of the American governors imposing the most extensive crackdowns on freedom in the name of countering coronavirus.
