Mayor Bottoms says city mask mandate stands despite governor’s order; not afraid of possible state lawsuit
Atlanta Intown ^ | 7/16/20 | Collin Kelley

Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said Atlanta’s mask mandate would stand despite Gov. Brian Kemp’s executive order voiding local face covering requirements.

“My belief is that the city still has appropriate standing to mandate masks,” Bottoms said during a streamed press conference on July 16 to give an update on the city’s COVID-19 response.

Bottoms said she found it “quite interesting” that Kemp decided to void city and county mask mandates after Atlanta implemented one, since other cities have had them in place for weeks.

The mayor also linked Kemp’s decision to President Donald Trump’s visit to the UPS hub at the airport on July 15 to announce new transportation infrastructure projects. The city’s mask requirement also includes Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport and Trump was criticized for not wearing a mask during his visit. Bottoms told CNN last night that Trump broke city law.

Bottoms also thanked New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo for donating 7,500 coronavirus test kits, 30,000 pieces of Personal Protective Equipment, and 1,250 gallons of hand sanitizer to Atlanta.

Has crime in Atlanta come to a standstill since Mayor Lance Bottoms said, “Enough is enough!”? All the black children are now safe and happy? That story dropped off the media radar super fast.

We know Trump is tested often for coronavirus so it is known that he does not have it, however, they still keep screaming about him not wearing a mask.

To be quite frank, even the Atlantans whose children are being murdered do not much care, just as long as their gal stands up to the evil Trump and his surrogates like Brian Kemp.

These mask edicts are not lawful. They were not created in the legislature. No Governor or Mayor can make you wear a mask.

Why are we conservatives not standing up and taking leftists to court or exposing them instead of apologizing? The entire anarchy BLM antifa movement needed challenged early on instead of acquiescing and giving it momentum.

Exactly.

Submitting to them means you are ok with them assuming powers they do not have by law.
