L.A. Mayor Garcetti Says He Held His Breath For Maskless Photo With Magic Johnson
Deadline ^ | 2/2/22 | Tom Tapp

Posted on 02/03/2022 9:52:17 AM PST by JonPreston

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.

Johnson later tweeted a series of photos from the event featuring himself and a number of others in a luxury box overlooking the field. They included Garcetti, Breed and California Governor Gavin Newsom. None of them are wearing masks in the photos, despite a local public health officer order requiring attendees to wear masks at all times during so-called outdoor “mega events,” except when “actively eating or drinking.” Johnson is in a high risk group for Covid, given his HIV status and age.

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.

That entire Garcetti family is one of the worst things that ever happened to Los Angeles.

How about holding your breath for 10 minutes submerged even better.

I don’t think he expects us to believe it. I think it’s just theater and he knows his people including the media will go along with it just because he’s a Democrat & don’t care if it means anything. He’s also deliberately sending us the message that we can’t do anything about him

Why would he hold his breath?
Was he afraid of Negro germs?

Where has it ever been suggested that holding your breath is something that helps?


First thing I do after holding my breath is to take an extra-deep breath. That’ll get those virons deep inside your lungs where they can prosper and multiply.

My first thought was, “will the politicians file the game suite tickets on their political spending report?”

There have been hundreds of politicians bribed with tickets to expensive sporting events and exclusive events, that mere mortals just couldn’t get.

Who knows? Maybe Johnson (owner of sports teams and construction firms) is paying off the mayors of LA and SF in return for future considerations.

Prove me wrong ...
