MARC ELRICH COVID LOCKDOWNS - NEVER FORGET! Montgomery County, 2020
Brutish Montgomery County, MD covid lockdown restrictions delivered to the media by politician, Marc Elrich, 2022 in the news, at Kentlands.
GAITHERSBURG, Md. (ABC7) — As one 7 On Your Side viewer colorfully stated, watching Montgomery County's 23-minute news conference about phase-one reopening was reminiscent of a Jerry Springer episode.
The 2:30 p.m. Thursday presser took place at the Main Street Pavillion in the Kentlands neighborhood of Gaithersburg. The planned community is chock-full of businesses, many locally owned and operated.
From the moment Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich (D) approached the podium, a crowd of protesters began booing and hurling insults at him. A blonde-haired woman held a sign behind Elrich's head that read, "FREE US PLEASE!" A man, also standing behind Elrich, wore a black-colored t-shirt with the map of Maryland on it and the hashtag "ReOpenMD."
Montgomery County was the last jurisdiction in Maryland, and across the entire DMV, to announce a re-opening date and guidelines.
Elrich — a former Montgomery County Public Schools teacher who most recently served on the county council before becoming county executive in December 2018 — went on to announce that starting at 6 a.m. Monday, June 1, Montgomery County would officially enter phase-one reopening.
"Personal services, hair salons and barbershops open for hair only, no haircuts, no manicures, none of the... no pedicures," Elrich read from a piece of paper that outlined the county's new policies.
“What!?!?!?!?" a chorus of female voices exclaimed in shock.
“Fascist! Nazi! Get out of here! Open for business!" others hollered.
It turned out that Elrich misspoke. Hair salons and barbershops will be allowed to cut hair starting Monday, but by appointment only. Manicures, pedicures, and other spa-like services, however, will remain unavailable.
“We need to remember that the only reason this county did not have the steep curve of other jurisdictions is because of the steps taken by the governor, and by the county," Elrich opined, furthering incensing the crowd of naysayers.
“That’s a lie! That’s a lie! That’s a bald-faced lie.”
“Okay. Fine," Elrich responded, shrugging off the vitriol. "Only the actions that were taken flattened the curve... And if it hadn't had been for the governor..."
Protester: “Why don’t you bail out all of those small businesses!?”
Protester: "No government workers get paychecks until we open up!"
Elrich: “So, for the people who are actually interested...”
Protester: “What if you lived on nothing!?”
Protester: “How dare you say we’re not interested! Why are we here? You work for us! Don’t you dare talk to us like that!”
Protester: “How about you forfeit your paycheck!?”
Protester: “Take their paychecks away, they’d be opening up tomorrow!”
Protester: “Fascist! Nazi!”
Elrich: “Mmmm, mmm, mmm. I can wait.”
Protester: "No! No! It's my fu**ing freedom of speech!"
Protester: "Fu** you! Once again!"
