Bar owner blasts Newsom and Garcetti in viral video, saying movie company allowed to set up outdoor dining next to her closed bar

The bar owner, Angela Marsden, who has been fighting shutdown orders from the local government over the past week, said in the video that she came to her place of business to gather materials to organize a protest and saw that a movie company had apparently been permitted to set up a large outdoor dining setup.

“I walk into my parking lot, and, obviously, Mayor Garcetti has approved this,” the woman says, pointing to several large tents with tables and chairs underneath them.

“I’m losing everything,” Marsden continues. “Everything I own is being taken away from me. And they set up a movie company right next to my outdoor patio, and people wonder why I’m protesting and why I’ve had enough.”

Marsden asked why her outdoor patio is “dangerous” but the outdoor setup yards away from it permitted, calling it a “slap in the face.”

“Mayor Garcetti and Gavin Newsom is responsible for every single person that doesn’t have unemployment, that does not have a job, and all of the businesses that are going under, and we need your help. We need somebody to do something about this,” Marsden said, fighting back tears.

The viral video was seen and commented on by several prominent Twitter accounts almost immediately, including President Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr.

“It’s like these politicians are trying to destroy all small businesses,” he tweeted. “Ridiculous!!!”

“Watch this video of an LA bar owner that perfectly crystallizes the absurdity of California’s absurd and ridiculous shutdown rules,” Outkick’s Clay Travis tweeted.

“Hey @ericgarcetti you evil f—,” podcaster Dave Rubin tweeted. “Get out of our way and let decent people live you piece of shit dirtbag.”

Mayor Eric Garcetti’s office did not immediately respond to request for comment from the Washington Examiner.
