As we told you earlier, pictures of California Gov. Gavin Newsom and others at last night’s NFC Championship Game caught plenty of attention, especially from parents whose kids are forced in many schools to wear masks all day:
@GavinNewsom did you enjoy #SFvsLAR tonight at @SoFiStadium? Love your gorgeous maskless face! Unmask my children now please. My toddler, 5yr old, and 7 yr old are going to school in LA County tomorrow and will be sent home if they unmask like this, even outside. pic.twitter.com/ChUgV3yZTK

However, Gov. Newsom tried to explain today how he was “very judicious” with the precautions:
California Gov. Newsom after being photographed maskless at NFL game:
"I was trying to be gracious and I made a mis… ya know. I was trying to be gracious and took the mask off for a brief second. But no, I encourage people to continue to wear them." pic.twitter.com/rC0l8qn8Si

.@GavinNewsom defends himself for once again breaking his own Covid masking rules: "I was very judicious yesterday … In my left hand is the mask, & I took a photo. The rest of the time I wore it, as we all should. Not when I had a glass of water, or anything … and that’s it.” pic.twitter.com/3FAgbNPM5t

The virus won’t spread if it knows you’re taking a picture? That’s nice of it.
Looks like they need to add “While taking a picture” to the list of mask exemptions. pic.twitter.com/ghoRzUqpTA

Cool…we just have to carry our masks in our left hand and we are good
Can we use our right hand? https://t.co/TUUBodXneb

With that explanation all Newsom has done is to encourage people to go dig up more pictures & video from the game.
This you, @GavinNewsom? Also, is there a “photo with celebrity” exception to the indoor mask mandate? https://t.co/705WJelrqp pic.twitter.com/7z5vmVdwNG

TV cameras captured a maskless California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom hugging Magic Johnson last night in violation of his own mask mandate.
The video contradicts Newsom's assertion today that he only removed his mask "for a brief second" when he "took a photo." pic.twitter.com/kTOjBOlT0F

He’s lying. He walked up to Magic Johnson without a mask on his face or in his hands. pic.twitter.com/BRV7FRXrHT

Maybe Gavin is confusing himself with the Mayor of LA 🤷♂️ pic.twitter.com/rBp6fRGw5z

In other words, it depends on what your definition of “judicious” is.
