Gavin Newsom Sent His Kid to a Mask-Free Basketball Camp

French Laundry all over again.

Late Monday night a photo began circulating among California parents opposed to mask mandates in schools or at youth camps/sporting activities allegedly showing Gov. Gavin Newsom's oldest son, Hunter, participating in an indoor summer basketball camp -- maskless -- that very morning. The photo was part of a social media posting by the camp’s operator, touting the successful first day of the 6th week of summer camp.

Tuesday morning RedState received confirmation from people whose children play youth sports with the Newsom children that the boy in the photo was indeed 10-year-old Hunter Newsom.

The photo caused an uproar among parents who’ve watched their children struggle academically, physically, and emotionally while being kept from their normal school and sports activities while Newsom’s children attended their expensive private school in-person -- and now apparently were able to participate in indoor sports, mask-free. According to California's public health guidelines, children ages 2 through 11 are required to wear masks indoors while at school and in "other youth settings."

Newsom took his kid out of the mask-free camp -- claiming he didn't know their mask policy.

Prepare for a shock: This is a lie.
