The mayor was caught with a mask off while hanging out with celebrities.
Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot faced criticism for continuing to hold a music festival in the midst of reinstating COVID-19 restrictions.
Despite announcing plans to resume more pandemic restrictions in the city, the Democrat mayor continued to host Lollapalooza, which is one of the largest music festivals in the country.
"At the same time she's threatening possible restrictions if cases rise above 200 per day, Mayor Lori Lightfoot is moving forward with plans to bring 100,000 a day to Grant Park for Lollapalooza," Chicago Tribune reporter Gregory Pratt said.
Lightfoot later appeared herself at Lollapalooza saying to the massive crowds "Thank you for masking up and vaxing up." Despite frequent criticisms against holding the festival, Lightfoot continued to defend her decision.
"It’s outdoors. We’ve been having large-scale events all over the city since June without major problems or issues," Lightfoot said. "The Lolla team has been phenomenal. They’ve hired their own public health experts who’ve been working hand in glove with us since we started these discussions."...
...Lightfoot told those visiting for Lollapalooza to wear a mask when riding public transportation after reports of Chicago's public transit being filled with riders not wearing masks.

P.S. Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice
Let no one forget that Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot promoted riots in her jurisdiction during a pandemic.
Time now for the Chinese Parade!
Milwaukee, Wisconsin’s 11-day event, Summerfest, promotes itself as “The World’s Largest Music Festival”, a title certified by the Guinness World Records that has been held since 1999.
Lollapalooza is only one of SEVERAL nationally attended concert festivals coming into Chicago this year.

Erykah Badu, Kim Gordon (Sonic Youth), and others
RIOT Fest September 17-19th

Smashing Pumpkins, Nine Inch Nails, Pixies, and others
I like N.I.N., Smashing Pumpkins had 2 good songs...
I went to the second Lollapalooaza in Philly.
Stuff got weird...
“Summerfest attracts approximately 800,000 people each year, promoting itself as “The World’s Largest Music Festival”, a title certified by Guinness World Records in 1999, but has been surpassed in attendance by Donauinselfest with over 3 million in 2015.”
And I don’t think it is possible to accurately tally all of the attendees at SXSW Music Festival (unofficial, not just official showcases which topped out around 280,000). Essentially 2000+ bands performing over 10,000 live sets in the span of about 6-7 days.
100K, no one wearing a mask..not a big deal according to the commie media..of course..these are the same ones who have NO issue with millions of new Democrat voters crossing the border with covid everyday
The CDC said infected people could go vote in person in crowds on election day. This isn’t about a virus.
The CDC said it was perfectly FINE for someone with an ACTIVE positive case of Covid to vote at the polls on election day 2020. You can’t stop someone from voting just because they are spreading a pandemic in a crowd.
Isolating after a positive coronavirus test? The CDC says you can still vote in person.

Can voters who test positive for the coronavirus still come to the polls on Tuesday?
Yes, says the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which on Sunday published new guidelines noting that sick voters still have the right to cast a ballot.
“Voters have the right to vote, regardless of whether they are sick or in quarantine,” the CDC says on their website. Under federal law, turning someone away from a polling site is considered illegal and an act of voter intimidation.
Even with all the doomsday media coverage of the delta variant? Why, it’s almost as if people aren’t scared anymore! The government better put a stop to that ASAP!
Such a foolish jackass. Nice job Chicago
Lockdowns are for the rest of us.
