Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms says she will sign an executive order mandating the use of face masks in public spaces. It's the latest test of an order from Gov. Brian Kemp that bars local governments from setting their own public health policies.

She's shown here speaking on Capitol Hill in 2019.

"We've given a lot of thought on it, and we will be going forward with a mask ordinance in our city today," Bottoms toldHer remarks come a day after Bottoms told ABC's"Good Morning America" that she has asked Kemp to allow her to mandate masks in the city and he refused.

Maybe if you were to control the protesting. Instead of sitting on your ass and I’m doing anything about it

Maybe she doesn't realize that the Governor trumps her position. She can say anything she wants and he can overrule her. Just that simple or should I say, she's just that simple!

Keisha Lance Bottoms husband is Vice President of employment practices at Home Depot. He’s worked there for 18 years. Was he perhaps partly responsible for those terrible anti-union videos employees were forced to watch?

What about her, exempt?

This is illegal. She is a lawyer, really? Someone needs to sue this woman! Want more government control? Vote Socialist Democrats like this one!

So we can burn a Wendy's and shoot cops as long as we wear a mask right? KeishaBottoms NoMasks

Sounds like martial law (not to be confused with Marshall law)

How about free bullet proof vest for everyone from the mayor

Just another nail in the coffin for all the bars and restaurants in the City of Atlanta---Thanks!

Thank you Mayor Bottoms!! Please make sure they cover their noses in those masks

Who’s pulling your strings Mayor?

Good . Can they arrest the motherfuckers who yell at people while mask-less in stores ?

COMMUNISTS, RIOTERS, VANDALIZERS, LOOTERS AND ANARCHISTS FACES MUST HAVE MASKS/FACE COVERINGS AT ALL TIMES.

You have a greater chance of getting shot in her city.

she has bigger things to worry about than a mask, maybe she should worry about the murder rate in her City no. She can't blame that on the government or the governor.

you have people murdering your citizens in the streets, but yeah...Let's worry about mask. How about a statement on how your POLICE OFFICER Max Brewer, who pulled through and needs SUPPORT! You are a worthless Mayor, one who obviously needs replacement.

Umm. she is covid positive..wrf is her mask crimewavekeisha covidkeisha keishaneedstogo

And what about the Negros ?

This country is doomed. The fact it's July now and this country still debating whether to mandate policies that save lives or to help rich ppl make more money.

'Enough Is Enough': Atlanta Mayor Calls For Violence To End After Child Killed'Enough is enough,' Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms said after an 8-year-old girl was killed during a violent Fourth of July weekend. 'You can't blame this on a police officer; you can't say this is about criminal justice reform.' She should call Black Lives Matter? They can come and swoop in and ave the day? The cops should simply decline to go into black neighborhoods. Let them kill each other off. So a child dies and her response is, you can't blame the cops for this one? What does one have to do with the other? I can be upset about the child and still want cops held accountable. Nice try though using the death of a child to cover up police abuse. Smh Too little, too late.
