| Mayor Lightfoot Criticized After Post Shows Her Getting Haircut During Stay-At-Home Order |
| 2020-04-08 |
| [CHICAGO.CBSLOCAL] Mayor Lori Lightfoot has been adamant that people stay home and socially distance for weeks. "I am Groot" But a social media post from the woman who cut the mayor’s hair this weekend has some wondering if Lightfoot is saying one thing and doing another. As CBS 2 Political Investigator Dana Kozlov reported, the stylist in the post, Cashmere Neal, thanked the mayor for allowing her to cut her hair on Sunday. And in the photo, the two are standing inches apart without masks. Mayor Lightfoot on Monday was asked about the photo, whether it is acceptable social distancing, and any concerns that it might be a matter of, “Do as I say, not as I do.” “We are trying to do the best that we can under difficult circumstances. I am practicing social distancing. The woman who cut my hair had a mask and gloves on,” Lightfoot said. “So we’re, I’m practicing what I’m preaching and making sure. I don’t typically take pictures these days. But we are trying to do everything we can to emphasize the messages around social distancing, washing your hands, stay at home. But as an elected official and the public face of the city, I need to make sure that I am out there and visible.” Related: Lori Lightfoot: 2020-03-14 ICE chief scorches Chicago mayor for glib response to latest sanctuary city horror crime Lori Lightfoot: 2020-03-03 Man released under ‘sanctuary city’ rules sexually assaults 3-year-old Lori Lightfoot: 2019-11-24 Chicago water bill payments down $20 million this year as Mayor Lori Lightfoot stops shut-offs for nonpayment |

| #8 Just another example of how suspending the constitution really works--one set of rules for "them" and another for us. Stop this bullshit now. |

| #3 Time to go back to cutting my own hair, like I did when I was young and poor (and even had more hair...) |

| #2 All she had to do was put some hair spray on her head and light a match. A nice blue glow would appear and remove all that fuzz. |
