Chicago's Democrat mayor gets a haircut, ignoring social distancing order

Chicago’s Democrat mayor has been caught ignoring the city’s social distancing measures by selfishly getting herself a haircut, despite ordering the public to “stay at home” due to the coronavirus outbreak.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot is under fire after a photo emerged of her posing with her hairdresser over the weekend.

The photo shows Lightfoot enjoying a haircut amid the state’s strict lockdown.

Lightfoot and her hairdresser can be seen standing shoulder-to-shoulder, ignoring advice to keep six feet apart – while neither of them wear a mask in the photo.

Mayor Lori Lightfoot IGNORES social distancing to pose with her hairdresser over the weekend.

Freebeacon.com reports: Lightfoot was flustered Monday when reporters confronted her about the mixed messaging.

“I’m the public face of this city,” she said. “I’m on national media and I’m out in the public eye. I take my personal hygiene very seriously. I felt like I needed to have a haircut. I’m not able to do that myself, and so, I got a haircut. You want to talk more about that?”

She said if she did her hair herself, it would be a “disaster” and the media’s focus should be on people dying of the virus.

Lightfoot insisted that her actions did not contradict her message to the public, pointing to her stylist’s use of a mask and gloves.

“I’m practicing what I’m preaching,” she said.

Lightfoot recorded a series of humorous PSAs in March urging Chicagoans to “stay home, save lives.” In one, she tells a friend over the phone that getting her roots done is not necessary; in another, she tells a friend that she does not need to get a pedicure.

  1. It’s such a showpony really The fact is still about 85% _90% of people are not going to be bothered by it.

  2. Although Trump and Fauci did not come out and say it why Afro-Americans are at greater risk to the virus than others is that they are not serious about social distancing. Last week in Chicago, a birthday party of 35 Afro-Americans for a 1 year old child was disbursed by police for not observing the 6 ft. rule.

  3. She is NOT a Democrat. She is a California Progressive. The last time Chicago had a Female Democratic Mayor was Mayor Jane Burne in which she spent 18 Months living in the Projects with the Blacks to Live the life of those who Voted her into Office. Lori Lightfoot would never do that.
