This is from earlier in the pandemic but is a great example of the double standards practiced by seemingly every pol.
The Mayor of Chicago, Lori Lightfoot, in April was caught getting her hair done after issuing a stay at home oder.
In an NBC News article she is quoted as saying:
The stylist was wearing a mask and gloves, the mayor said in defense of her haircut during a press conference earlier this week. “I’m the public face of this city. I’m on national media and I’m out in the public eye.”
The mayor added that the public is more concerned with other issues. “I think what really people want to talk about is, we’re talking about people dying here. We’re talking about significant health disparities. I think that’s what people care most about,” Lightfoot said.
Ahhhhh, I see. So since you are an important person, the rules don’t apply.
Got it.
How ridiculous. Mayor, there cannot be two sets-of-rules.
