LATEST June 5, 9:23 p.m. White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany called out Contra Costa County on its recently announced health guidelines on Twitter, but CoCo was having none of it.
"In Contra Costa County, new 'health' guidelines allow protests of 100 people, but restrict religious services until June 15," McEnany wrote on Twitter. "Social distancing should remain data-driven and apolitical: If you can protest, you can pray."
Contra Costa Health Services was quick to correct McEnany.
"This is not accurate. Outside gatherings of up to 100 people are now allowed for protesting and religious gatherings, as allowed by the state."
Contra Costa County Supervisor John Gioia later added: "Kayleigh, get your facts straight! Contra Costa’s new health guidelines allow both outdoor religious services&outdoor protests. We take public health seriously&make decisions based on #scienceoverpolitics."
