Maskless Christmas singalong with Kirk Cameron 'un-Christian' in pandemic, mayor says

Actor Kirk Cameron faces backlash over a Christmas carol singalong Sunday night that he promoted as a protest against coronavirus restrictions.

“Liberty and freedom are very fragile and they come with great responsibility,” said Thousand Oaks Mayor Claudia Bill-de la Pena, KABC reported. “Continuing to hold large gatherings and ignoring all guidelines, I feel, is un-Christian.”

In an Instagram post before the event — held in a Thousand Oaks shopping mall parking lot — Cameron said the gathering would serve as a protest against coronavirus stay-home orders in California.

“Have you ever sung Christmas carols by candlelight at a time when your state Governor has prohibited you from doing that?” Cameron said. “In America? Well, this is something that is truly happening. You can’t make this up. It is such an uplifting, inspirational, and encouraging time, we want you to join us.”

God, I'm so sick of washed-up actors viewing evangelical Christianity as some sort of second career...
