"Eric Garcetti, Mask-less at Super Bowl LVI" By Daniel Guss

@TheGussReport - Most of Los Angeles already knows that L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti is a congenital liar who misleads, misstates and misrepresents for any reason or no reason at all.

Despite his ridiculous claim two weeks ago that he held his breath while maskless and posing for photos at the NFC Championship game, here he is maskless, not posing for photos, at Super Bowl LVI on Sunday.

Along with Garcetti’s ludicrous holding my breath claim, he also falsely stated - as scientific - that holding his breath presented “zero percent chance of (COVID) transmission."

Thanks again, Los Angeles Times Editorial Board, for repeatedly standing by your boy, Garcetti, and wrongfully urging Angelenos to vote for him time and time and time again, first for L.A. City Council, where he repeatedly failed us while controlling the City’s legislative agenda for years as its President and lying every step of the way. And then for encouraging us to repeatedly elect him as L.A. Mayor, including his disastrous current and final extended second term.

If there’s any justice in the world, President Joe Biden will pull his nomination of Garcetti to become Ambassador to India, relegating the Mayor, now 51, to a lifetime in academia and corporate board rooms, but not as a federal official.

But more importantly, it’s time for Los Angeles governments to now open City Hall and the L.A. County Supervisors to the public, maskless, and to stop using the pandemic as a way to censor critics and the rest of the public alike.

You’ll call for that, right away, won’t you, L.A. Times Editorial Board?

Show us that you get it.

For once, prove that you understand us little, irrelevant people and that you will once and for all stand up for us.
