After public protests against California Governor Gavin Newsom’s lunatic lockdown order, Newsom made a very bizarre statement by falsely claiming that people still have free speech rights.
Gov. Gavin Newsom had some advice Saturday for people upset over the shut-down order, some of whom have started holding public protests, including one Friday in Huntington Beach.
“I just want to encourage people that when you practice your free speech — which I don’t [just] embrace, I celebrate — just do so safely. This virus knows no political ideology. It doesn’t know if you are Republican or Democrat, supporting the president, opposing the president, so practice physical distancing.
“Make sure that you are not infecting others. Even if you feel healthy and have no symptoms, you can spread this.”
What Newsom is saying is insane. He’s saying that the protesters have a right to free speech while simultaneously claiming that they don’t have the right to free movement per his edict. By demanding people physically distance themselves from one another, he is violating the rights of people to express themselves freely.
The right of a person to move freely is a Constitutional right and it can’t be suspended just because people in government say there is a doomsday virus floating around. And while this isn’t explicitly stated in the Constitution, there are Supreme Court rulings which have confirmed that freedom of movement is a protected right.
The governor said he will not be swayed by public protests in deciding when to reopen the state.
“We are going to do the right thing, not judge by politics, not judge by protests, but by science.”
A group of more than 100 protesters demanded that California ease stay-at-home restrictions that have helped slow the spread of the coronavirus.
The protesters claimed the dangers of the coronavirus and benefits of social distancing are overblown, despite scientific evidence to the contrary.
I’d also like to know what sort of science Newsom is referring to in order to justify the continued lockdown. All of the so-called “experts” were wrong about this and produced scary charts predicting mass amounts of death that never happened.
Most of the people dying from this are old, fat or had some type of preexisting condition. It is very similar to the flu in that regard. There has also never been a time when governments around the world decided just to isolate all healthy people so a minimal number of sick people might be able to live a few months longer. So I’d say whatever science he is referring to is highly questionable.
But his claim that people still have rights is ridiculous considering that he ordered a suspension of those rights by restricting free movement. This clown will probably make similar statements falsely claiming that people have rights even as he declares brutal police state and martial law measures to crackdown on further protests against his retarded lockdown.
