Fauci stated that large crowds of any kind, whether indoors or outside increase the likelihood of the virus&#039;s transmission. Then, Jordan pointed out that Democrats are forbidding people going to church and fining business owners for supposedly causing the spread but are totally okay with BLM protesters, who could also spread the virus. Hence, the evidence of hypocrisy.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[From the church attorney&#039;s tweet: &quot;Apparently signs asking people not to enter if they have an elevated temperature or symptoms of Covid (located at every entrance &amp; exit) aren’t good enough for LA County.&quot;

That, ISTM, is a (deliberate?) misconstrual of the situation. I&#039;d guess what the county is taking issue with (and thus the basis for this fine) is the fact that GCC is openly flouting the law by holding in-person services that don&#039;t comply with mask-wearing and distancing rules, thus increasing the risk to anyone who attends a service, yet at the same time using signage that tells people they (GCC) have no responsibility if someone attending a service catches COVID-19.]]></description>

And I am tired how the Left is blaming evangelical Christians for these deaths for supposedly gathering in churches, while they themselves engage in behaviors that could also help the spread. Rep. Jordan has poignantly pointed it out, but apparently people who by default have anti-religious freedom animus will likely ignore anything he says.]]></description>

LA county is overwhelmingly ruled by the Democratic Party and these politicians around the country tend to disfavor evangelical Christianity but favor leftwing ideologies because they think it will help them get elected. Here is a perfect example showing their hypocrisy in terms of the spread of COVID:

Thus, I see the issues with pastor MacArthur that LA is having is is all about politics.]]></description>
