Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot came out dressed up as "Rona Destroyer" to lay out Halloween guidelines. Does this show how out of touch she is with the public?

0:00.0	The first family has COVID-19 and our prayers go out to them, but what does this mean for the
0:04.7	presidential debates? And the Chicago mayor goes full-roaned destroyer, and MSNBC contributor says
0:11.1	that we should have a committee that vets presidential candidates so that we don't end up with another
0:15.5	Trump. Well, we've got that much more coming up right now.
0:19.0	Hello there. Welcome to the news and why it matters. I'm Hillary Kennedy filling in for
0:30.7	Sarah Gonzalez while she is at home enjoying, hopefully enjoying her maternity leave with her
