Supervisor Kuehl:
Your remarks criticizing LA County residents’ opposition to a renewed mask mandate were uninformed, unprofessional, and frankly embarrassing.

Supervisor Kuehl, you said: “I’m particularly struck by the blowback from a number, though not a really significant number of sort of, ‘snowflake weepies’ about how oppressive it is to wear a mask. I don’t hear them writing me about shoes, which are actually more oppressive to your feet than wearing a mask on your face but we do that really for health or the requirement to wear a shirt when you enter a restaurant.”
To compare wearing a mask with wearing a shirt and shoes is just ludicrous. Shirts and shoes serve a well-established purpose for individuals to protect their feet and to ensure proper decorum in a public place. Those customs are not an impediment to speaking or breathing, either.
Only recently, with the advent of the COVID-19 outbreak, were certain locations pressing for the wearing of masks. Yet a growing body of research has confirmed that these masks were ineffective and unnecessary to prevent the spread of COVID-19. Furthermore, it is an unnatural abuse of power for any agency to mandate the wearing of masks.
Last of all, Supervisor Kuehl, you yourself violated your own COVID-19 orders:

And if one wants to talk about individuals being easily offended, one cannot forget your outrageous outburst directed towards one individual in a 2015 LA BOS meeting:

Supervisor Kuehl, you owe the residents of Los Angeles County an apology.
Sincerely,
