To the editor:
So, the U.S. Department of Justice is concerned that L.A. County’s stay-home orders are “arbitrary and heavy-handed” and possibly unlawful. This is the same Department of Justice that dropped charges against former National Security Advisor Michael Flynn, in an administration lead [sic] by a president who refuses to wear a mask in public.
I will listen to Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and L.A. County Director of Public Health Barbara Ferrer with regard to stay-home orders. I will also follow the advice of White House coronavirus task force members Drs. Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx.
All of these officials base their decisions on science and data. All of them have the public’s health and well-being in mind when making decisions about slowly and safely reopening our country. I trust them, not Trump or the Department of Justice.

Note from KBJ: President Trump doesn't refuse to wear a mask. He chooses not to wear a mask. Susan Schless would make a good Nazi.
