California Church Fined $1.2 Million For Violating Covid Rules, Dems Who Violated Same Rules Fined… Nothing

Remember back during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic, when we were told that the virus — which has a very high survival rate — spread during church services, in certain aisles at grocery stores and on certain beaches, but not where Democrats gathered and certainly not during BLM protests?

Even Gavin Newsom, the current governor of the Marxist People’s Republic of California, violated his own mask edict.

Worse yet, there wasn’t even an attempt at social distancing in his little gathering:

Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?

But even as Newsom is running around calling Ron DeSantis a tyrant, a judge in his state has fined Calvary Chapel San Jose $1.2 million for disobeying Santa Clara County’s mask-wearing rules between November 2020 and June 2021, the Associated Press reported:

The church will appeal, attorney Mariah Gondeiro told the San Jose Mercury News.

Calvary was one of several large California evangelical churches that flouted state and local mask-wearing and social distancing rules designed to prevent the spread of COVID-19 during its deadliest period.

That has led to a tangled web of court rulings and challenges.

Calvary Chapel sued the county, arguing the health orders violated its religious freedom. Various courts have ruled either in favor the church or the county.

Meanwhile, the Democrats who violated the rules have yet to be held accountable.  The irony of this wasn’t lost on those who responded on social media:


Heh… I’m not going to hold my breath…


True. But he had a lot of help. California IS a one-party banana state, after all. And every single one of them seem to be in a race to see who can be the most tyrannical.


Redundant, but true…

Twitchy accurately noted: “‘The freedom state’ — for certain people.”

Sad, but true.  AS the saying goes, “rules for thee, but not for me.”  Maybe someone should make that the state motto.

Which begs the question we asked earlier: Why the HELL is anyone still living in California?
