Democrats exposed for hypocritically ignoring own COVID-19 restrictions

Sky News Australia published this video item, entitled “Democrats exposed for hypocritically ignoring own COVID-19 restrictions” – below is their description.

Joe Biden calls for Americans to unite against the virus but Democrats have been exposed for hypocrisy for failing to follow their own COVID-19 rules. In his speech he said each American had a responsibility “to do what we can to slow the virus”, despite the Chicago Democrat mayor joining large crowds to celebrate Mr Biden’s election victory. Lori Lightfoot has been bombarded with calls of hypocrisy over her lockdown orders which were imposed days after the celebrations. “That crowd was gathered whether I was there or not,” she said in her defence. “There are times when we actually do need to have relief and come together, and I felt like that was one of those times.” Ms Lightfoot’s 30-day lockdown included stay-at-home orders with no outside travel unless it was for essential reasons, the cancellation of Thanksgiving and the axing of any guests who live outside of a Chicagoans’ home.

In This Story: Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is best known as a holiday celebrated in the United States on the fourth Thursday of November every year, usually through feasting, parades and travel to see family and friends, though celebrations were scaled back during the 2020 coronavirus pandemic.

The roots of the modern celebration lie in settlers celebrating their arrival in the Americas in the early 1600’s. It has been a public holiday since 1941 due to federal legislation, an annual tradition in the United States by presidential proclamation since 1863 and by state legislation since the Founding Fathers of the United States.

Traditionally, Thanksgiving has been a celebration of the blessings of the year, including the harvest. What Americans call the “Holiday Season” generally begins with Thanksgiving. The first day after Thanksgiving Day—Black Friday—marks the start of the Christmas shopping season.
