In a Tuesday letter, the U.S. Department of Justice told California Governor Gavin Newsom to loosen restrictions around in-person worship services.
"California has not shown why interaction in offices and studios of the entertainment industry, and in-person operations to facilitate nonessential ecommerce, are included on the list as being allowed with social distancing where telework is not practical," the letter said,"while gatherings with social distancing of religious worship are forbidden, regardless of whether remote worship is practical or not.
"Our fear is simply this," Newsom said during a May news briefing."Congregations of people from far and wide coming together in a closed space at a large scale remains a point of concern and anxiety for us. We are working on guidelines for physical distancing and working with faith leaders talking about unique conditions in their own facilities. Nothing is etched in stone."
Only churches are allowed to discriminate. What was the gov thinking?
‘’Governor’s have total control of their States” - Trump said last week, which is years ago.
Is AG Barr so ignorant that he doesn’t know that crowded church services have spread COVID19? Churches & other houses of worship use technology to reach their congregants. Their congregants can even donate money to them online.
The agenda from Trumps camp david pow wow this weekend with republican leaders was to attack democratic governors, blame them for anything and everything. Add to this President Obama, CDC, China & WHO and that is the campaign strategy - deflect from his incompetence!
DOJ can but out No apology from pastor of Butte County church where 180 were exposed to COVID-19
Doj cant investigate Biden and Obama, but they can do all these other things.
The virus runs rampant in churches, but yeah go ahead reopen & infect each other.
Fuk the DOJ
Full Darwin’s theory in action...
new CDC report examined what happened after 2 seemingly-healthy people attended church in Arkansas, then developed COVID-19 symptoms days later. 35 of 92 attendees got COVID-19, & 3 died. Then 26 more cases & 1 more death from people who came in contact with attendees
Good to see things starting to get back to normal PolticsAsUsual
Just like throughout history...religion is going to get us all killed.
Newsom, don’t buy the hype. You’re doing the damn thing.
