I truly believe that Dante Alighieri the author of ‘Inferno‘ was on the right track when he described the final rings of hell. Of the 9 circles (the 9th being the most heinous aside from the middle of hell which was the worst of the worst), Hypocrites found themselves in the 8th circle.
Of all the repressible things one can be, a hypocrite is among the worst of the worst. Unfortunately for us, the modern world, especially the world of politics is filled to the rafter with hypocrites.
One of the most glaring offenders is the Democrat Governor of California, Gavin ‘do as I say not as I do’ Newsom …
Breitbart is reporting:
‘Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom explained away the viral photo of him posing maskless alongside basketball star Magic Johnson, saying that he was just “trying to be gracious.”
Speaking with reporters on Monday, Newsom said that he kept his mask on throughout his time at the NFC Championship game on Sunday and that he only removed his mask for a photo with Laker legend Magic Johnson when he asked for one.
“I was very judicious yesterday, very judicious,” said Newsom. “And you’ll see the photo that I did take where Magic was kind enough, generous enough to ask me for a photograph, and in my left hand is a mask, and I took a photo. The rest of the time, I wore it as we all should. Not when I had a glass of water. I encourage everyone else to do so. And that’s it.”
When asked if perhaps he should have been more thoughtful about how the photo could be perceived, Newsom said he was just trying to be gracious.
“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,” he said.
California Democrat Gov. Newsom doesn't apologize for violating his OWN indoor mask mandate:

While Newsom claims that he was “judicious” about wearing his mask throughout the day, photos and videos circulating online showed a different picture. It should also be noted that in the image of him and Magic Johnson, the people around them were also maskless.

HERE COME THE SMOKING GUNS … 🤥
How about this Tweet?:
This FanCam still of @GavinNewsom is now making rounds on the Twittersphere — earlier today the governor said he only took his mask off at the #NFCChampionship for a "brief second" to take a picture with Magic Johnson, and then later while drinking water. https://t.co/hwmbs2qrrm pic.twitter.com/3JDwSlhO4Q

Oh, images don’t show us anything, they only capture a split second in time, right?
Well then, how about this VIDEO?!:
Breitbart set up the clip by stating ‘It also appears, in this video shared by Outkick’s Clay Travis, that Newsom had his mask off as he approached Johnson, not just for a “brief second” before taking a picture.”

TV cameras captured a maskless California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom hugging Magic Johnson last night in violation of his own mask mandate.

The reason that this is even an issue is because of video after video like this one in which the arrogant governor of California demands that everyone (else) wear a muzzle:
. @GavinNewsom is lying. He's in photos and on video with no mask on the entire game, walking up to Johnson and shaking his hand while maskless with no food or drink. Stop. https://t.co/JaPD06iqyH

There are thousands of hours of clips of Newsom telling everyone they must wear a mask and at the same time plenty of cases of Gavin getting caught without a mask in public places including restaurants and stadiums.
These are the same eateries that Newsom threatened with punishments for not obeying his draconian mask policies (which he is apparently exempt from), mind you.
I encourage you to read the entire piece at Breitbart HERE as it does a great job of laying out just how big of a hypocrite this elitist really is. Honestly, I don’t know what is worse: a ‘true believer’ communist or someone who merely poses as one to gain power while being a huge hypocrite behind the scenes …
