‘Massive Civil Disobedience': Victor Davis Hanson Predicts Pushback As States Impose More Coronavirus Restrictions
[DailyCaller] Hoover Institution senior fellow Victor David Hanson
...that’s Victor Davis Hanson, actually
predicated Wednesday "massive civil disobedience" against further COVID-19 lockdowns as more restrictions are out in place.

"I’m afraid they’re going to have massive civil disobedience because for them to have credibility ... they cannot be hypocritical," Hanson told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on "Tucker Carlson Tonight" in reference to Democratic leaders enforcing harsh lockdowns.

"They have to be disinterested. But think of a marquee official, a [House Speaker] Nancy Pelosi, a [California] Gov. [Gavin] Newsom, a [Michigan] Gov. [Gretchen] Whitmer. All of these people have violated their own edicts," Hanson said, citing Pelosi’s visit to a San Francisco hair salon and the revelation that Newsom attended a large indoor dinner at an upscale French restaurant in Napa Valley.Newsom has suggested that Californians even wear face masks "in between bites" when dining at restaurants.

Gov. Whitmer has said she is "never going to apologize" for her harsh lockdown measures because she insists her actions saved lives.

Hanson suggested that lockdowns have now entered a new phase when political leaders "say we are going to go into the inner sanctum of a person’s home — so much for your home as a castle — and we are going to start monitoring your behavior in a way we surely didn’t when you attacked state property out in the street in Portland.""They are not going to have a lot of compliance and there’s a slippery slope, I think, that if they can come into your house and say you have to wear a mask. Why not just say — you know — when was your last prostate exam or your breast exam ... " he continued.

"So they are asking the public to obey edicts that they don’t feel apply to themselves and when you apply that to protest, all summer we saw people out in the streets, no social distancing, no mask, no cleanser, spraying and screaming," Hanson noted.

#2 He's right. We're slip-sliding down that slope now.

#4 See, that is exactly why we need a 100,000 strong Federal Tracing Department.

What is great about that, is that since quarantine orders are actually executive orders and not law, the Federal Tracers are not actually law enforcement and not subject to such constraints. And if there are legal challenges, they can just be pardoned by the president until such knots and gridlock can be fixed.

#6 Thank you, 746 — that’s the other reason why we put the name of the source in square brackets at the beginning of the text block. With that information, I could have found it myself.

Fixed.
