Lawyer Harmeet Dhillon fired back “What an insensitive joke. How do we “shop local” when California has killed most small businesses and literally banned shopping in many counties other than for food, alcohol, and drugs, mostly sold by impersonal national chains, not small businesses?”

Another Twitter user replied to Harris “Not sure if you’ve noticed, but it is difficult to shop local and support small businesses when they are all closed because of fear mongering liberals.”

Another replied “It’s a little hard to do that when they are closed, or limited to 10% of capacity, or whatever nonsense our Governor dreamed up today.”
