Kirk Cameron defends mask-less caroling events: 'We believe there is immunity in community'

Kirk Cameron says he’ll continue hosting outdoor, mask optional, mass gatherings to peacefully protest California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s stay-at-home order amid the coronavirus pandemic.

After facing criticism for holding an event Sunday outside The Oaks mall in Thousand Oaks, Calif., and another earlier this month with more than 500 attendees, the former Growing Pains star, an evangelist Christian, defended himself Wednesday on Fox News. The segment was juxtaposed with a California judge ruling that two strip clubs in the state can remain open amid the lockdown.

Asked about the Thousand Oaks Mayor Claudia Bill-de la Peña calling the gatherings “unchristian” for “ignoring all guidelines,” Cameron replied, apparently unaware the mayor is a woman, “Well, he’s no one to judge someone else’s faith.”

The former child star continued, “I’m looking around in my community and I’m seeing the devastation and suffering of people whose businesses have been bankrupted, people dealing with anxiety, depression, suicide is spiking, the abused being quarantined with their abusers and I can’t just ignore that. I love my neighbors and so I want to give them hope.”

get together. You two has-beens would have a lot to talk about and you would stop bothering us with your inane insanities.

Why don't you work a few days in a COVID ward to show us your unwavering proof of this stupidity.

He needs to be arrested if he persists. I'll never get what makes it hard to understand masks help stop the virus spread.

It's not complicated and faith has nothing to do with it.

At the beginning, I thought well, his theories re: cultural Christmas symbols= Jesus' crucifixion are a stretch but not that bad but by the end I was hiding under the covers.

Too bad they can't arrest him. It would be great to hear him continuing to have his say from a jail cell.

Both singers and instrumentalists. They stand or sit far apart. Dancers wear masks. The sound is beautiful, the performers can breathe.

Kirk thinks his followers don't need masks. I hope he goes to all their funerals.
