Why am I not essential?”, “Politicians are 86’d,” and “Sheila, you are 86’d.”Several attendees at Saturday’s protest said they showed up because they were inspired by Marsden’s viral video, FOX 11 of Los Angeles reported.SAN MATEO COUNTY BREAKS WITH NEWSOM, WON'T IMPOSE STAY-AT-HOME ORDER“They are blaming the regular person, saying it’s all our fault when they just can’t admit that what they have been doing has not worked.
