My friends, witness one of the most breathtaking excuses in human history.
Los Angeles Mayor — and Biden Administration ambassadorial nominee — Eric Garcetti today defended his actions after maskless photos surfaced of him and Lakers great Magic Johnson, along with San Francisco Mayor London Breed, at SoFi Stadium last weekend for the NFC Championship game...
Today, at an afternoon press conference to go over safety and security for next week's Super Bowl, which is also to be held at SoFi, Garcetti said he held his breath to take the photo.
You can't make it up!!!
I mean, literally, this article was made for Not The Bee.
All these dumb dumbs have to do is stop pretending forced masking does anything to stop Covid and let people make their own health decisions.
But nope, they're gonna double down like a kid who blames the dog for the crayon masterpiece on the wall!

Even better, California Gov. Gavin Newsom also tried to spin his maskless face at the Rams game.
Newsom was asked about the photos on Monday. He indicated he only doffed his mask for the snapshot.
"You're correct," he said when asked about going maskless at SoFi. "I was very judicious yesterday. Very judicious. You'll see the photo that I did take, Magic was kind enough, generous enough, to ask me for a photograph and in my left hand's the mask and I took the photo. The rest of the time I wore it as we all should, um — not when I had a glass of water — and I encourage everybody else to do so. And, uh, that's it."
In the photo of the two which Johnson posted, however, there is no mask in Newsom's left hand. The image could, of course, have been flipped before it was posted.
The governor was also spotted multiple times without a mask at the game.
