As Breitbart News reported earlier this week, Newsom exempted San Francisco — where he used to be mayor of the city — and the surrounding counties, because of the high vaccination rate in the region. But others are just ignoring the mandate.
The Sacramento Bee reported that no one can figure out who is responsible for enforcing the mask mandate.
When asked about the lack of enforcement mechanism for the mandate, which went into effect Wednesday, Gov. Gavin Newsom said he "has faith" in Californians to follow it, but didn't provide specifics on what would happen if they didn't.In Los Angeles County, for example, gyms and restaurants are continuing as before. Los Angeles County Sheriff Alex Villanueva has previously said he would not enforce vaccine mandates in his county.
"I have more faith than you do in the capacity of people to do the right thing. That's the response," Newsom told a reporter during a press conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday. "I think people are more capable once they're given the 'why' and the 'what' to apply themselves...and I think a lot of people will self-enforce and do the right thing."
Local government officials say the state hasn't given any guidance on enforcement, and some local authorities say they won't enforce the state's order at all.
Podcaster and model Jessica Vaugn tweeted her observations from a party in Hollywood on Thursday night, where patrons were ignoring the new mandate:
I was up Eureka way twice this year. It is stunningly beautiful - magical actually. Such incredible vistas everywhere.
Some of the people though. It was bizarre talking to them. So many bought into the narrative. A fair amount of shop owners had furniture blocking the entrances to the businesses with numerous threatening signs. Only one customer at a time, proper mask usage and cleansing before entry.
I was relieved to get back to swampy Texas.
Why do these leftists mess up all the best places?
