Democrats’ growing hypocrisy: loud speeches about ‘defending democracy’ while writing carve-outs for their own power and privilege

Last week, California Governor Gavin Newsom, state legislators, local elected officials, and community leaders were on camera thundering about “authoritarian regimes” and “secret police tactics.” They staged press conferences, accused others of “terror campaigns,” and congratulated themselves for “bold leadership” with Senate Bill 627 — the so-called “No Secret Police Act.”
Their rhetoric is soaring. Their hypocrisy is staggering.
Here’s what SB 627 really does: it bans local police from wearing masks while on duty. Sheriff deputies, city police, and school police. They’re all covered. Break the rule, and you may face criminal penalties and civil lawsuits, each potentially carrying a fine of up to $10,000.
But hidden in the fine print is a carve-out big enough to drive a CHP cruiser through.
The California Highway Patrol is exempt.
The Department of Justice’s police force is exempt.
Even the Franchise Tax Board’s armed officers are exempt.
In other words, the Governor and State Legislature exempted their own security forces while cracking down on everyone else.
They railed against “secret police,” unless it’s their police. It is fine if it is theirs. It is a pattern we have seen over and over again.
Guess this means the Radical Socialist Party (aka Dem) have decided only their view of the world and law count.
Does this mean Slick when giving press conferences gets to wear a mask?
Gezzzzzzzz, and you voted for what has now become the RSP.
That stupid?
