SoCal in 17 host Alex Cohen talks with Rep. Maxine Waters of California's 43rd congressional district to remember her sister, who recently passed after contracting the coronavirus. Rep. Waters shares fond memories of Velma Moody, whom she affectionately called “sister baby.” She implores everyone to “keep your a** at home” and always wear a mask in public.   Later, Alex and producer Esther Lee debate on whether they should approach someone without a mask in public to remind them to wear one.
